Thursday, May 22, 2025 My last day here, this year. I spent most of the day helping others see the wolves. There must have been 50 people look through my scopes today. With Pam and Ken and Deb and John's help we must have helped 200 people see wolves today. Between that and explaining the wolf world, it was a very busy day. It's been a good trip. I head for home tomorrow and expect to arrive on Saturday

Tuesday, May 20, 2025 Chilly and rain off and on. Not much new the last 2 days, I pretty much go out to Slough Creek and wait. Most of the time it's several hours between something happening. Today, there were reports of a group of wolves in the next valley heading this way. One was spotted in this valley and we followed it back to the den. The pups came out and followed her around for 15 minutes or so and they all went back in. That was pretty much it for the morning. The afternoon was the same. An adult would mosey down to the den and the pups would come out and follow the adult around like a parade.
Sunday, May 18, 2025 Chilly and rainy off and on today The wolves moved their pups to the other den last night, about 100 yards from the original. Nobody knows why. I've seen them do this before, several years ago. It has the advantage of improving our view. The adults seem to hang around this den more than the other one. At one point, many of the wolves were bedded down above the den when a bison took offense. It walked up and then charged the group, scattering them. I got some video after things started to calm down: It was a short day. I needed to get a shower in town and deal with water in the trailer. I needed to get more fresh water and dispose of some of the waste water. On the way back to camp, there was a moos at Floating Island Lake. I got really good moose butt video. Lots of traffic noise because I was right on the road and at the end, a big motorhome blocked my view:
