You Can't Make This Up - No Discussion

[arielilane]

Spring is a time of change and renewal around the park. For male cervids (animals in the deer family) like elk and moose, this means their heavy racks fall off and new growth begins. This is a natural and painless process that occurs every year.Remember, if you're out in the park and find something fascinating, you can take a picture of it, tell a friend about it, or even write a poem about it - but be sure to leave what you find. Don't take antlers, artifacts, rocks, plants, or other objects from the park.

Spring is in the air! Soon, many species of birds will be making their way back to the area. One species that's hard to miss among the muted browns of late-winter dead grass or the brilliant white of spring snow is the mountain bluebird (Sialia currucoides). In Yellowstone, the first mountain bluebird is usually spotted in mid-March. Anyone spotted one this year?
