Meet the 2005 Team
View the 2005 Itinerary
Today we arrived at Yellowstone National Park. It is a beautiful, sunny day. The wind is cool but not cold. Our first stop was to settle
into our cute little cabins at Mammoth and then we were off to adventure.
We've seen many birds today, including an osprey tending her young in a nest. We also saw a pair of ravens engaged
in raucous courtship behavior. There are many magpies here, dressed in tuxes. We all screamed with delight at the sight
of a bald eagle soaring over Yellowstone River. We watched a pair of sandhill cranes as they groomed themselves on a tiny
island, accompanied by ruddy ducks and a ring-necked duck.
While viewing spectacular landscapes, we have  been fortunate
to see elk, black bear, bison, moose, pronghorn antelope and bighorn sheep. We are tired but happy and ready for our first
night of sleep. More news tomorrow. Good night.
