Jasper National Park

June 2012. These are the best photos of the wildlife we saw. (By the way, we used a very effective zoom lens and most photos were taken from the safety of the car.):

Bear turning over rocks, looking for grubs:

 


Bear in a tree, eating leaves:
  

  





















Brown bear. Most of them are black in Alberta:


Big horned sheep on a hill across from the Columbia Icefields:
















You can see the tour buses driving up the Athabasca Glacier:















Grizzly

   
  













Baby sheep nursing on the highway:

    
A smarter baby sheep NOT on the highway:
























3 big elk. Yeah, they all look the same to me, too:






























Ptarmigan- can you see him?


"What are you lookin' at?"
















Which photo is your favorite? Let me know!

I love all the pics, but my fave is the ptarmigan. You caught him hanging out in an environment that his camouflage was made for.

Very cool.
