An osprey in Yellowstone, along the Gardiner River



As we were driving into Yellowstone National Park from the north entrance, we caught a glimpse of an osprey along the Gardiner River. Rick pulled off quickly at the next turnout, which fortunately was close enough to look back at the bird on the opposite bank. We had some conifer branches to hide us and to frame the osprey. After getting some images of the bird, we tried moving down the road to get an unobstructed view, but our movement startled it. We watched it fly upriver away from us. This is the best image we got of the osprey, while we were still partially hidden from it.

Remember, it's not just a picture, it's a story!
