Well done sir. The pics of the bears amaze me as how they don't seem scared at all. RTR!

That's because they are pretty much the alpha creatures out there, Preacher.

Watched a fox in front of the bakery in town at 6am, then found out why it was waiting:

May 28th continued:

Drove through the park.  Saw a badger!  Cool, hyper-active critter!


Another Moose (duh!):


Rocky Mountain Bighorns:


Black Bears (several).


Coyotes (several).

I saw your video on FB of the fox getting the egg. Very cool. All those pics are great.

Yeah, wish I could easily post those videos here.  So much cooler to see in person.  I posted a video of a newborn elk staggering for its first steps; think only family saw that one, but forgot where I put it.

That was on FB too. Also great. Where was the mother?

Yep, video was on FB.  Tough crowd!
But if I don't post pics here, those without FB miss the boat.
Not sure where the mother was.  Elk and other deer often bed down babies while they feed elsewhere, maybe to keep from attracting predators to the babies.  The area had streams running through, and she might have been down along one of those (out of sight).  As I explained, rules forbid me from stopping the car, so the pics were from a moving car.  I might have just missed her by passing by too fast.

Finally!  And better yet, a ranger told me yesterday they'd allow a "soft opening" starting tomorrow (Saturday).  Life is good.

That lady giving an egg to the fox needs to be ticketed.  Wild animals DO NOT need to be hand fed from humans.  Feel free to tell her that I said so...

Very cool pics overall though...

I doubt she cares what you think.  Pretty independent.  Montana women; not the South.
Said she's been feeding them 15 years, but only during summer when the bakery is open.  She has generations of foxes that she's fed.

Have I mentioned how Mrs. Nalt used to feed the wild animals around here, i.e. deer, fox, raccoons, armadillo, opossum, etc. dry cat food every evening?  I told her countless times not to do that because it makes the wildlife dependent upon humans for food.  Not good.  Eventually the raccoons started coming up on the porch looking for the food.  They would mess with anything on the porch that was small enough for them to move.  Broke several things too.  Then during the late spring/early summer the "momma" coons started bringing their babies out and they would follow Momma onto the porch.  Mrs. Nalt, about 3 years ago was going out just after dusk to throw out some food and she saw several of these babies.  She never had any problems with any of them but this one evening as she took a step a young one happened to be right beside her foot and it turned and bit her on the back of her ankle.  Three rounds of painful rabies shots and a huge medical bill and she finally stopped feeding them for the most part.

Mrs Dottie use to throw bread out to a Fox here. That crazy thing would catch it in his mouth if he could. RTR!
