Birds -- Greater Yellowstone, Summer 2009

I spent July 30 to August 2, 2009, staying at the Slide Inn on the Madison River west of Yellowstone National Park. I had my best bird photography luck in the Centennial Valley, particularly at Upper Red Rock Lake campground, which I visited the mornings of July 30 and 31. Along the Madison River near the Inn was also a good spot. I was shooting with a 400 mm lens, no extender, so many of these pictures are heavily cropped.

For some landscape and critter pics from the visit, see https://pbase.com/tgrey/yellowstone_nonbird_2009 .
