Thanks. In a couple of areas the osprey were almost as numerous as pigeons. One morning a bird shadow was cast over me and the ground. I looked up to see an osprey with a fish in its talons flying about 10' above my head.


Also seen but not photographed were a doe elk, countless deer, a large, red fox and a hoary marmot. No bears, only several piles of scat in Glacier. In September, during my tour across PA, I saw two black bears, including a huge one that was staring at me from maybe 20' away as I was about to put on my helmet and turn on my lights before leaving a campground early one morning. Quite an unnerving experience.
