This Little Wood Satyr alighted on some vegetation just ahead of me as I hiked through a marshy, open forest. The strong, direct sunlight really lit up its wings.
Running Pronghorn
Pronghorn are said to be the second fastest animal on land. We were lucky enough to find a small herd of them during our visit to Yellowstone National Park and this one was practically showing off for us.
Angry Ground Squirrel
Cliff Swallow Nests
Soldier Beetle on Daisies
Zebra Swallowtail Among Arrowleaf Balsamroot
Hiking past a large patch of Arrowleaf Balsamroot, I noticed a Zebra Swallowtail drifting from flower to flower collecting nectar and unwittingly spreading pollen in the process.
Blondie
This bison sat resting on a hillside in Yellowstone National Park when we saw it. Since most of the bison are dark brown we nicknamed this one Blondie.
Yellow-Bellied Marmot
Western Tanager
While hiking in Yellowstone National Park I noticed flashes of yellow in the pine branches overhanging the trail. I stopped to check it out and saw a small group of Western Tanagers flying through the pines. They didn’t remain in sight for very long so this was the only worthwhile photo I was able to capture.
