Hi, all -
I'm planning a trip to the Tetons and Yellowstone this June. I'm wondering if Oliver Scott's "Birder's Guide to Wyoming" of 1992 is the latest for the state or if there is a birding guide book for just those two parks.
Thanks -
Steve

I think there is a books specifically on the birds of Yellowstone, although I don't think it is a birdfinding guide per se.

If you are interested in mammals, this is also a good reference:

Interesting interactive map, Mysticete. Too bad it doesn't include badger, high on our most wanted list. The link to the Yellowstone forum is helpful.
Thanks -

For badger, staking out a prairie dog town is a pretty good idea. This last summer I basically saw Badgers on ever trip to a local NWR if I went in the morning. Badgers can be active pretty much any time of day in summer, and in the right habitat are not TOO hard to find.
