Great-horned owl in Grand Teton National Park, fall 2026.
I neglected to include the birds I saw during my recent trip out west in my last post. So, here they are. I was focused on the large mammals, so I didn’t get many photos of birds. The magpies were a highlight. They were all over downtown Bozeman, Montana, and very brave around my campground in Yellowstone. Kind of like the crows we have in New England.
