Other birds we saw in Yellowstone include Canada jays, white-crowned sparrows, killdeer, and American white pelicans!
Grand Teton National Park
I didn't take any bird photos in Grand Teton, but we saw bald eagles, northern shovelers, spotted sandpipers, bank swallows, and more!  Here's a moose we saw from the car:
