Picture of the Day - 6/18/2010



Black Bear with Cub - Just south of mammoth Hot Springs, we had decided to park in a turnout and scope out the willow wetlands before us for moose. After about a half-hour, Sheila exclaimed, "wouldn't it be nice if we could just wait here and have a bear cross just in front of our vehicle?" Not 15 minutes later, here came a mama black bear with her cub - crossing right in front of us! Here they are after just crossing the highway and starting up the embankment.

Breaking news - we were just informed a mother grizzly with FOUR cubs had been sighted yesterday just south of Mammoth Hot Springs.  We'll head there in the morning.
