Bear Jams

Bear jams (as well as bison, badger, fox, wolf, and any other charismatic animal near the roads) are a fact of life in Yellowstone National Park. I have mixed feelings about them after being in the middle of one for the first time a couple weeks ago.  The dynamics are complex and each is unique. About the only thing I can say with certainty is they are here to stay.

Waiting for Orders

This coy is waiting for the word whether it should go up or come down and play. This scene played out one evening in front of a very quiet, reverent bear jam. I enjoyed the scene while capturing video of the people watching.
