Just curious, on your May trips have you checked out LeHardy's Rapids for the Harlequin Ducks? There's a pretty good gathering then. Also, mid to late May is good for the Western Tanager and Blue Lazuli Buntings that abound in Gardiner for a couple weeks on their way through.
Yes, not this year but in prior years I have foto'd Harlequin's at LeHardy. Went by twice this year to try and foto a grizzly that was feeding on a buffalo carcass on the far shore not far from LeHardy so passed on the Harlequin's and, never got a foto of that grizz. Have foto'd a Western Tanager in Mammoth, and think I posted him on the hog, but have not encountered any Blue Lazuli...would enjoy the opportunity though! Years back I saw a mink running along the bank of the Madison about ten miles from W. Yellowstone and missed that opportunity...would like another chance!!
