I was a bit sad today because it is the first day of school for my Linfield friends! I miss you all and hope you have an amazing year!
This morning we had to wake up extra early to go on a wildlife tour! We saw a couple moose, lots of pronghorn, some sandhill cranes, bison, a Ferruginous hawk, and a Uinta ground squirrel. No bears or wolves yet, but I've still got 11 months!

Our guides from TSS Wildlife Tours brought with them some specimens for us to look at in the vans. I had fun with the moose antlers! Again, these were NOT sheds collected within the park (not allowed), but specimens brought by our guides for educational purposes. As you can see…
We then got an official introduction to the Murie Museum, a museum on campus that houses some of the collection of Olaus and Mardy Murie. There are tons of specimens of all kinds of animals. It is absolutely amazing, and I get to do some work study in there this year!
