Every year the graduate students and the faculty go up to Lamar Valley in Yellowstone to watch wolves and bears. This was my first year going. I had an amazing time. I got my first prolonged look at a grizzly bear. Prior to this I’ve only seen fleeting hairy rear ends disappearing into willow thickets. This time, I watched a group of 20 bison chase a grizzly across a hill.
The wolves were amazing too. Four total. The one we got a really good look at is known as Druid 302. He was beautiful. 
The highlight for me was an interaction we watched between the wolf, grizzly, and a coyote. At one time I could see all three through my binoculars at once. There were no scuffles but it looked tense at times through the scope.
