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:

 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
