Cold and sunny.

I decided to go down south to check out an eagle nest I was told about. After a bit of hunting and some help by the eagle, I found it:

Along the way, there was a wolf on a carcass in the Hayden Valley:

And then I made a stop at LeHardy Rapids for the harlequin ducks:

One other thing happened. Yesterday, they saw some much smaller wolf pups at the North (or Natal) den. That means that there is another litter there. Nobody knows how many there are, yet. But based on their sizes, the consensus is that they are 10 days to 2 weeks younger. Thus morning, I got a short video of an older and younger pup together. It starts with a younger pup out on the porch of the den. At about the 10 second mark the much larger older pup appears and pounces on it. It is quite obvious the difference in size. What is amazing is how much they can grow in just that short time. Note: it works better if you view it on Youtube.  The pups are small in the view.
