Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks

At the beginning of June my family went on a trip through Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks.  Here are some of the birds and other highlights from the trip!

Yellowstone National Park

American dipper

American dipper again, very blurry but you can see that it's about to dip into the water

The same male mountain bluebird, this time with more steam!

Adult killdeer

Baby killdeer running around the safe edge of the boiling hot, sulfur-filled pools of water

Another baby killdeer - tiny little fluffballs on twig legs!

A gorgeous raven who was a little too comfortable around humans

Not a bird, but some bison we saw!

A pair of marmots!

Shooting star flowers

Violet-green swallow

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:

And here are the Grand Tetons themselves with their reflection:
