Surprise find on Lake Overlook Butte, YNP. Courting time, but the little female was moving off! The male was quite cooperative and may have been in a previous line-up with his posing ability.
Just for perspective, Yellowstone Lake was directly behind the grouse. Still some mid-May ice!
Thank you. It was a nice surprise as we were actually looking for a couple local inhabitants that we have caught there a couple times, Snow the grizzly and her mother, Raspberry.
Thank you, Mike! Plan for a trip anytime in June 2025 and we'll catch you this time! Had to book Archview well in advance and took month of June. There are things we have missed, but you know how that goes!
