I finally made my first trip up to Mammoth Hot Springs and then out to Lamar Valley the for the past two days where I went off in search of wildlife images.  I did get to see a couple of wolves near the Yellowstone River Picnic Area, though they were too far away for photos.  There were plenty of coyotes as I had about 30 sightings in the two days, though the 30 sightings were probably of about 10 to 15 animals since I probably saw the same animals a few times.  No fox on this trip and bison were common but not as visible as they might be.  There were also elk in all the usual places.  This bull elk was lounging in the snow in an area that is popular with bull elk in the winter.  At one time, I saw 8 nice size bulls hanging out here

Bison, were common but didn't seem to be in as high numbers as I've seen in the past.  This bison was one of several that ran down towards the road to cross it.

And finally, I took this photo near sunset to illustrate the lack of snowpack.  This shot was taken near Blacktail Ponds.
