A day-old elk calf rests on a rocky slope above the Madison River. My favorite time to be in Yellowstone is from mid-May to mid-June when almost all species give birth.
I haven’t been to Yellowstone for several years and planned to go this year until the big flood occurred. One reason I wanted to go was to get more photos of bighorn sheep. I don’t have many decent photos of them on my website. The other day I decided to look through the photos I do have to see if I could find any that I thought were worth putting on my site. After looking around, I decided to add the photo above and a couple of others. It was shot in November of 2005 with an 8MP Canon 20D.
Here’s a little black bear spring cub standing with the help of a fallen tree. May and June are my favorite months to be in Yellowstone. Baby animals are all over the place.
