Birding Teton National Park
/ Brian LewisDuring early June, Terry and I drove the Teton National Park and service roads of the surrounding National Forests viewing wildlife. The mountains, hills and valleys were velvet green and meadows were carpeted in a profusion of wildflowers resulting from rain for the first five days of our tour. Bird breeding season offered many opportunities to view and photograph a diverse species birds up close.
