Wyoming Just Took A Big Step Against Citizen Science
Sunset at Oxbow Bend on the Snake River, Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming.Grand Teton National Park was one of the most beautiful places I've ever seen, and a fantastic place to view wildlife. While trying to photograph some beavers and a moose at this beautiful spot on the Snake River, I noticed a diligent osprey catch a fish in the river. A few seconds later, a lazy eagle swoops down and attempts to grab the fish from the osprey. The startled osprey freaks & drops the fish....right into the waiting bill of a patient white pelican! A few minutes later, a bear cub appears on the road above me. All this was pretty amazing to me--squirrels are the most amazing wildlife I get to see at home. In the end, I brought home no good photos of beavers or moose or osprey or eagles or bears, or even the pelican--but I did get to see this beautiful sunset along with this lone fisherman, who was as successful as the osprey at fishing that night. Happy February!

Wyoming just criminalized citizen science.
