Camera Critters-Yellowstone Moose



Often one may look for a species for days with no success and then blunder into an encounter when it is not expected.

That is what happened on our Yellowstone trip. We were looking for moose in The Grand Tetons, and had no success, but on another evening, when we were back in Yellowstone, my daughter wanted to photograph a petrified tree. As we neared the parking lot at the tree, we saw several rangers and a large crowd of people by the roadside.

It turned out that several moose were bedded down among some evergreens. In time two bulls stood up and began feeding and I took several still photographs and a bit of video footage.
