Hello From Gardiner, Montanna

Posted by amy on October 30, 2007 in Yellowstone National Park Wolf Expedition.

Hey Everyone- (It's me Jennifer!)

First of all, just wanted to say a big thank you to Amy for updating everyone on Yellowstone. We made a trip into town today to get some supplies as the weather has turned from good to bad with rain and lots of wind. By tomorrow, we should have snow on the ground... Sandrine and I just finished taping some VERY rare footage of the Slough Creek wolf pack eating an elk carcass in a creek. On top of that, some other wolves tried to get a piece of the action but were unsuccessful. A bald eagle sat high on a tree waiting for leftovers and the magpies were very bothersome to the wolves eating who chased them off as if they were annoyed. Earlier, we captured another grizzly on film and have been face to face with several coyotes.

Amy- you got to upload some of those pics from my camera phone for these guys!

I'm at a small cafe in town that has internet access while we recharge our battery packs. Carring all the camera equipment from location to location is a pain but what we've captured in one word is priceless... We've obsevered so much pack behavior- SO MUCH, it's been incredible.

Everything else is going well- tomorrow we will relocate to another location to set up camp. For now, we are sleeping in the territory of one of the largest wolf packs here at Yellowstone. Although it's hibernating season, the bears are still out and about searching for food and are often spotted very close to our camp.

More to come as I get a faint signal to send Amy text messages while roaming. Stay tuned and lots of love from the woods...

- Jennifer
