Luckily, at this time of year they are too busy bulking up for winter to think of charging us pesky humans!<br /><br />We were indeed fortunate to see so many wild animals on this trip and you're right, it's so fortunate that Congress at one time had the foresight to protect this amazing habitat. I highly recommend The Tetons and Yellowstone for all wildlife watchers.<br /><br />Thanks for commenting!One Day in Americahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06908834658716123640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4975306347330050350.post-31969921019364376572012-11-15T09:57:53.619-08:002012-11-15T09:57:53.619-08:00Like John, I know there are moose out there in my ...Like John, I know there are moose out there in my NH woods, but I've never seen one (and maybe that's a good thing?!), so it was amazing to view the photos you brought back from the Tetons. I love the Pine Marten. And I'm glad you didn't tangle with a honey badger. <br /><br />The sagebrush background to the photos of the moose gives them a frosty morning air. They look so majestic (when they're not charging you!). <br /><br />How special to see so much wildlife on your trip - and in the link to your previous post on winter in Yellowstone. I had no idea this area had such a concentration of wildlife; it makes me appreciate the thought that went into preserving this land so they could thrive.Vickie Bateshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04935525489196514927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4975306347330050350.post-30317600337279156282012-11-15T06:47:10.884-08:002012-11-15T06:47:10.884-08:00Yellowstone and the Tetons are THE places to go fo...Yellowstone and the Tetons are THE places to go for wildlife watching in the lower 48 states.<br />It's nice that you're able to see the evidence of a variety of animals on your hikes but, as you say, it's also wonderful to be able to see the animal itself! <br />And as for the talent of snapping those photos before the creatures scurry away—I have to give most of the credit to Tim. He's amazing with a telephoto lens!One Day in Americahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06908834658716123640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4975306347330050350.post-62161373818586398012012-11-13T11:54:34.541-08:002012-11-13T11:54:34.541-08:00Rita, that is so special that you and Tim saw so m...Rita, that is so special that you and Tim saw so many animals (and mammals at that) in such a relatively short time frame of 3 days. As much as I'm out hiking in the forest, I rarely see much other than birds, and rather common mammals such as chipmunks, rabbits, etc. I often see the droppings (scat) of a wide-variety of mammals, but not the actual animal itself. And so, I envy the fact that you saw these animals, and am even more envious that you were able to capture images of them before they scurried away.<br /> <br />Also, thanks for including a link to your January 2012 posting about Winter Wildlife of Yellowstone National Park. Once I accessed this link, I then vividly recalled seeing the stunning wildlife photos that you posted in that report.<br /><br />John<br />1HappyHikerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02242409292439585691noreply@blogger.com
