Yellowstone day 7

Yellowstone day 7

Please go to day 1 first. Breakfast at Yellowstone Lake and then Pelican Creek and the Yellowstone River. What a glorious day by 10 it is 56 degrees, low humidity, beautiful blue sky. A short hike through the woods to a shore line to look for and identify animal tracks. Water fowl, birds, coyote and grizzly tracks are IDed. A cast of the grizzly and coyote are made, check out the size of the grizz. The right in front of us an Osprey for ten to fifteen minutes does his food hunting thing, finally hovering just above us, he heads to the water, slaps the top and comes up with a fish, Awesome!
While waiting on the Osprey, we observe Blue Heron, and a cormarant among multitude of others. You will have to ask Scott.
Then went to the Geothermal features at West Thumb. It was closed for a Grizzly to finish consuming the Elk it had killed earlier in the day. No, we could not see.
So we moved on to Artemethia, the Old Faithful complex, and a late hike up a steep hill to get an overview of the Grand Prismatic Spring. If West Thumb was an improvement on these places, I must see West Thumb someday.
We came back to Old Faithful, where we are staying in the cabins. Day ended with a late night walk around Old Faithful and its sisters geyser, with an awesome view of the night sky.
