Circle Bar B Nature Preserve

Limpkin

This morning I visited the Circle Bar B Preserve for the first time since last winter.  It was finally comfortable (71 degrees) to be hiking around looking for photo opportunities.  I was pleased to find that the eagle pair has returned to their nest in the upland sandhill area known as Eagle Roost.  There was a large group of wood storks roosting along Alligator Alley.  I followed a pair of limpkins as they walked along the water's edge on Alligator Alley.

My First Post..

Since this is my 1st post to blogger I'd like to preview just a few of my favorite photos. 

Stately Bison

While working in YNP one of my favorite evening past times was to watch the bison herds in the Hayden Valley. 

Moose Cow

On days off work one of my favorite trips was down to Teton Nat'l Park.  I always made the drive down Moose Wilson Rd. in search of moose.  I found this cow on two occasions.

Moon rising at sunset over Lake Yellowstone

In mid July a local photographer told me about a full moon rising over Lake Yellowstone at sunset.  I met him at Pelican Creek and came away with this photo.

Grizzly Bear Cubs

The summer of 2010 was a busy year for bear sightings.  Mom and these two cubs were spotted frequently on the back side of Mount Washburn.

New Born Proghorn

This baby proghorn was spotted with mom within just a few hours of being born.  They are on their feet within the first 30 minutes.

That's just a few of my favorites.  To see more of my photos please visit www.pbase.com/ddouglas
