| Alum Creek, which looks more like a lake due to snow melt. |
Canyon Lodge opens to the public today - still buried under about 3 feet of snow! Since we moved up here (a little less than a week ago), it's snowed every day but one and we went skiing on Memorial Day. I've even had a few chances to sneak away and take some photos. (Oh! Hopefully I'm getting a new camera in a couple weeks - I found one I want used for a super great price!!!)

I've been appreciating the birds in area a lot more this year. It's possible it's just because I'm learning their names and a few random fun facts here and there. I've headed out to Hayden Valley (the valley in the high plateau that a large number of animals migrate to during the summer months) in the evening to see what I can see.
There has been a Great Blue Heron that has been hanging out where Alum Creek runs into the Yellowstone River. There is a bridge right before this happens, which has been funneling fish right into the Heron's mouth.

When I went out yesterday, there was an American White Pelican that was also feeding just a short distance away. I've heard that Great Blue Heron's will be territorial about their feeding grounds; however, I doubt this one really wanted to try to fight off one of N. America's largest birds.
