Yellowstone Wildlife

My wife and I spent a week in Yellowstone in early July -- it was my fifth trip to the park. We did not see any wolves this time, and most of the bear encounters were at quite a distance. Here are some of the better shots:

I did a quick search, and I agree. Thank you!

Here are a couple more bear shots. The second one is a pretty severe crop, but the mother grizzly was standing on her rear legs looking back at her cub, something I've never caught on camera before. She was probably over 500 yards away -- a long way with a 400mm lens on a crop body!
