Hello all,
My family and I will be hitting the road to Grand Teton and Yellowstone National Park in the third week of August. It'll be a long drive all the way from western Oregon to Wyoming, but oh well. At least we're traveling!
I'm definitely planning to do birding and wildlife watching as much as possible. I've heard that Yellowstone, although not one of the birding hotspots in U.S., provides habitats for a variety of different migrants. I haven't actually birded here before, although I've done some wildlife observing seven years ago. Has anyone done any birding here recently or before? If so, would mid-August be a good time? What specific locations within the park would you suggest?
How about Grand Teton? Although I've heard about the variety of birds found within the park, I don't know much about birding in that area. Any information would be greatly appreciated!
Tim
