My final checklist from the trip:
Black Bear-1
Grizzly Bear-2 (Photo to follow)
Moose-Five maybe (...male, female, and baby)
Elk-Too many to count, pictures to follow
Bison-Wow, everywhere you look in Yellowstone. Even became part of traffic jam as a hundred try to cross the road in front of us and behind us.
Wolves-maybe two through binoculars but, definitely heard them.
Coyote-three
Big Horn sheep-three but must have been young
Pronghorn Antelope-many, picture to follow.
Jack Rabbit- one
Cougar-Zero. I believe you can see these in Grand Teton.
Pika (looks like a hamster but a relative of the rabbit)-one very friendly one.
And of course, squirrels and chipmunks. Least Chipmunk, I believe. I read it somewhere that these are the species in Yellowstone. I noticed that they had stripes on their head that my local chipmunks do not.
Birds- Numerous...I am sure I will not remember them all. Black-billed Magpie, Clark's Nutcracker, Grey Jay, Mountain Bluebird, Red-breasted Nuthatch, Mountain Chickadee, Chukar, Eared Grebe, Red-tailed Hawk, Ruby Crowned Kinglet, and more.
I will be posting more today as I go through my pictures and do laundry.
