July 14
We have seen so many animals since we have been visiting the national parks. I won’t give you the whole tally or anything, but here is a sampling of the animals we have seen in Mt. Rainier National Park, Glacier National Park and Yellowstone.
Bald eagles
Pronghorn antelope
Black bears
Wolves
Elk
Bison
Coyote
Mountain goats
Moose
Deer
Marmots
Martens
Osprey
Chipmunks
Red squirrels
Mountain bluebirds
Woodpeckers
Clark’s nutcracker
Bats
That’s a pretty awesome list, I would say. There are other birds too numerous to mention. We’ve also seen many butterflies and dragonflies. The onslaught of mosquitoes we come across should not be on this list, but they are an annoyance, sometimes worse than others.
As usual,
Happy trails,
Linda and Ken
