In search of moose

After a slow start, we decided to take another drive in to Yellowstone to see if we catch a glimpse of the elusive moose. No such luck but in the center of the picture below you can see the eagle's nest and an eglet standing up waiting for his/her meal. With John's good eye, I was able to see my first bald eagle in flight. They are truly majestic birds and I was thrilled.

While in search of moose, we did spot a bull elk alongside the river.
I was busy taking pictures of bison in a field of yellow flowers that I didn't see this coyote until we were driving by it. A guy was standing alongside the road shooting pictures from about five feet away from him when he looked up at the guy like he was surprised to see someone standing there. Neat.
Cow elk munching on beautiful wildflowers and grass.
We had a lovely drive but sad to say, no moose was spotted. Oh well, we gave it our best try.

Came home and just chilled; well, barbequed hamburgers. We also starting preping for our move tomorrow as we head to Missoula in route to Lewiston, ID where we will spend two weeks.

Another lovely day.
