So there was no pre breakfast drive this morning and instead we had an early breakfast before heading out for the day. On our way back from breakfast we were lucky enough to see a jack rabbit jumping around on the hillside. A jack rabbit is a hare with massive ears! After our jack rabbit siting, we layered up and started our day. We had literally driving to the outskirts of Mammoth when we saw a black bear walking around towards the river so we stopped and enj...

The best day so far and all the others have been impressive but you really can't top your first bear sighting and what an amazing sighting it was. So the day started with a pre breakfast drive to Fishing bridge where we stopped to look for otter. Darren spotted something in the distance, a beaver, then a few minutes later a muskrat and then to top it all a few minutes later an otter. But not a distant otter one that seemed to be swimming towards us. So we stoo...

Although we couldnt see much we did manage to see the bison crossing the road causing a jam. So we took a short walk up the hill to wai...

Welcome to Narnia So today started with a pre breakfast drive to the Elk Refuge to look for horned lark, coyote and prairie falcon. All of which we managed to tick off almost straight away. As we stopped to look out and scan our second site I spotted a bird perching on the edge of some rocks only to discover it was a prairie falcon. I then saw another falcon fly in and land making that two. Just as we found this two coyote were spotting running across the top of...
