There was a "warming hut" set up at one of the parking lots. It was just a trailer with a big heater, some benches, and a little concession stand. We had all purchased sack lunches the night before and Lisa picked them up for us. We sat on the benches in the warming hut and ate lunch. A little bonus action was that the engine in a different kind of snow coach had caught fire and the driver pulled into this parking lot to let out his passengers and extinguish the fire. It was all out by the time we arrived, but the stories were good and we got to see Yellowstone firefighters in action (they came to double check that all was well). There were no injuries or loss of material goods.
Pretty close up on a bison.
Same bison, different angle. In the background, the three formations on the side of the hill are called "The Three Brothers." This is actually a shot that Lisa described as a good landscape picture with good composition...she didn't know I'd already taken this shot when she was telling others it would be an interesting composition. Yay me for having composed a good shot. As Rodney says, "Even a blind squirrel can find a nut sometimes."
Eagle!! This shot was taken out the hatch on the bombardier. He would land for just a few minutes, then move on down river a hundred feet or so and perch for a few more minutes. Not bad for iPhone zoom.
Three coyotes.
One of the coyotes got nice and close.
Lady elk.
Video would've been better. These ducks were pretty fun to watch as they simultaneously dove underwater and then would emerge as a group in a different location.
