This is the first day of 3 on the “Winter Wildlife Watching” class I am teaching through the Yellowstone Association. We have a great group of 8 students… some of them returning, some new. Had a nice hike along the Yellowstone Picnic area trail and then did some watching whereupon we found a kill- likely [...]
Randy and Michelle Jones were kind enough to send along one of their photos of our fabled bull elk #6… Thanks! This is an image of him in the Mammoth parade grounds… If anyone else has #6 photos you’d be willing to share… please send them along!
Working on an illustration for the cover of a research journal… something like this will be the finished idea…

The studio hounds were helping me out this morning after we went for our morning fetch-and-run above the house on the Forest Service land.
