In the Tetons: Nada, nothing, and zip by way of megafauna at Oxbow Bend...bears (610 and 399's kids, one of which has since been hit and killed by a car) near Taggart Lake trail head/Cottonwood Creek, and as you know, Mr. Moose along Moose-Wilson Road, also a great gray owl (pics to follow soon) right next to the moose pond.
Contrary to last year, no badgers easily visible from the road in Little America; also we saw no bighorns (though others apparently did) around Wrecker's Pullout-Yellowstone Picnic, but nine rams hanging out together way up between Sylvan and East Entrance (pics follow), which was a first for us. Saw a nice shiny black bear up there too.
Wolves - Canyon Pack - in Hayden - even Rick McIntyre was spotted (by us) only there, and not in his usual Little America-Lamar or Blacktail Plateau territory on this trip.
Harlequins at LeHardy's, lots of pelicans at Pelican Creek and Oxbow.
Wildlife is where it finds you, as you know - this was not overall the most wildife-lucky trip for us. Guess we'll just have to go back and try again :-)
