Bald Eagle along the Madison River. There were actually two of them there together, perhaps a mated pair? One of them stayed in a tree keeping an eye on things, the other would occasionally swoop down towards the river. I looked, but did not see an obvious nest anywhere in the immediate area.

Mother grizzly with cubs, East Entrance Road. After looking through some forums and Facebook, I believe this is Raspberry and these cubs are her first. We saw this family on our first day in Yellowstone, as we entered from Cody (somewhere between Eleanor Lake and Fishing Bridge). There was a large open meadow that they were working their way across, and a large audience up at the top of the hill watching them.

Yellowstone and Grand Teton really are amazing places.

    Ok, thanks for the feedback. I'm new to this forum, so I will have to work on getting my embedded images correct. There are links to the full size images below the embedded ones.

    I wonder if those are the same ground squirrels last year at Mormon Row... one of them practically walked over my foot -- i like the
    eagle one best

    Great shots. Looks to have been a very enjoyable trip.
