Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming
2015
One of the many hot springs in Yellowstone National Park whose continual changes and movements make for a dynamic environment, creating and destroying (see the trees in yesterday’s photo) at the same time.

The Crawl

Although it’s about as immobile as a tree stump can get, there’s a sense of motion to this; like it’s trying to crawl away.

It’s surprising how well a wet river otter blends in with the texture of a dead tree. There were actually seven otters swimming along the lake shore and climbing in and out of the water, playing but also looking for and eating food. We were about 20 feet from them and followed them for quite a way along the shore. They paid us no mind at all. It’s surprisingly hard to photograph moving otters from a moving canoe, so I didn’t get any good group shots.

A camp robber of a different type, this Stellar’s jay (also a corvid) was pretty good at chasing the gray jays around and making sure he had first choice of treats. This was the only decent photo I got of him as he was very skittish and barely landed long enough to snatch a cracker before flying off again. In contrast the gray jays were much more comfortable at hanging around with us at the picnic table.
