When we were in Yellowstone NP, we did not have Internet or access to WiFi, or we would have had better luck meeting up with everyone. However, we hope to have Internet continuously from this point on.
I think that is a hawk. Maybe Broad-Tailed or Red...Dean & Linda Stock said:May 25, 2011 Day 18 Yellowstone NP?Fishing Bridge RV Park
...As we drove down the road, looking out at the ice that covered Yellowstone Lake, (Picture 3) I saw a raptor in a tree. Dean is getting really good at making U-turns. We only got a few seconds to see him and his friend before they flew off. I am not sure, but I think he may have been a juvenile osprey. (Picture 4)...

Wish you had stopped at the Yellowstone Park Store at Old Faithful. We probably were working there as well as Bill Whetstone! Would have been nice to meet you. if you are still in the area, stop by. We work tomorrow and have Sunday and Monday off. Bill will be off on Saturday and Sunday.
Wendy said:Not an osprey. Definitely a buteo which I guess is what you're all meaning by broad-tail? Red-tails are also buteos. My guess is an immature Swainson's.
