Day 11 West Yellowstone

Off to Old Faithful today to have a look and a walk around the other thermal features. No Osprey today.

Day 10 West Yellowstone

Try another tact with the Osprey today. Instead of sitting and waiting, I try prowling the river banks, stalking it. A little more success but still not able to catch the moment of the strike.

Day 9 West Yellowstone

More Osprey watching today, but the drive out to the river has an unexpected surprise. Perched in a tree overlooking another river is a Bald Eagle. Hopefully a few photos will come out. Occasional glimpses of the Osprey again

Day 8 West Yellowstone

One week in and off to Bozeman for a bit of shopping.

Another try to photo the Osprey, but nothing doing.

Day 7 West Yellowstone

Sunday and the park is heaving again. Rather than spend the day driving around I planned on staying put in one place. Over the last few days I have seen an Osprey hunting in the same stretch of a river. I spent the day in just a small area watching and waiting.

Watching and waiting is the hallmark of wildlife photography and this time I didn't see the Osprey. While waiting, a female elk chose this time to go for a walk in the water. Queue the road grinding to a halt as everyone stops to have a look.

Day 6 West Yellowstone

Being a Saturday, the park will be packed today so decide to spend the day taking it easy by the pool and hot tub. Bliss.

Day 5 West Yellowstone

The rumours are true, this morning the Germans leave. Still chaotic today but last one.

Off to do some washing today so fun fun fun.

More elk and bison today and not much else.
