As awesome as it was to see pilot whales, they showed up at the same time as this basking shark. So we didn't spend any time to circle around it for better shots...

Savannah Sparrow (Passerculus sandwichensis)Observer
lma82Description
It caught me by surprise just how close this little guy came to me. It might have been trying to lure me away from a nest, but I'm not sure why it got so close.

Wilson's Plover (Anarhynchus wilsonia)Observer
lma82Description
Very fun encounter with a silly plover! When I started to get closer for better pictures, it was quite nervous, but it then picked up a fiddler crab and ran toward us, like a puppy that just caught a ball. The plover then dropped the crab, ran the other way, and started chasing a cloud of flies trying to catch them. Nervous eating? short attention span? either way it was hilarious and memorable! 😂

American Bison (Bison bison)Observer
lma82Description
The entire herd came down to the area full of tourists! This was so awesome! Unfortunately, too many
people started to crowd the herd and not letting them pass through :-( Some bison were starting to vocalize, I think in displeasure. Thank goodness that a ranger showed up and yelled at the crowd to disperse.

Shiras Moose (Alces alces ssp. shirasi)Observer
lma82Description
Dozens of us were monitoring this bull from very far away as it grazed in the wetland below the ridge. At some point he decided to find out what the fuzz was all about and he walked up the hill toward us. He was totally chill, he let us take pictures and calmly walked away. This was an awesome experience during the first day of my first trip ever to Teton/Yellowstone region! :-D
