A Lesson In Wildlife Watching

As we headed on our way to West Yellowstone, we were soon sidetracked again.  We noticed a sizable crowd at a pull-off and decided to investigate.  A bull elk and his harem were making their way out of the woods and across the river to reach some good grass for grazing.








While I was busy snapping photos with my zoom lens, Vol Fan soon noticed some other visitors that had apparently forgotten that they were looking at wild animals.  Wild animals not in cages.  Not behind large fences.  Not a gentle pet.  The blonde lady was within 6' of that doe and her baby.  This is a perfect example of how to NOT watch wildlife.  We were amazed that no one ended up getting hurt.

    I, too, have seen tourists take foolish chances to get a picture of wildlife. I'll stick to my zoom lens.
