Henry's Animal Report: Beartooth Edition

Based on last time's experience driving the Beartooth Highway in 2009, I was not expecting to see any animals on the drive.  On our drive on Monday, we were surprised to see white Rocky Mountain goats when we got higher on the mountain.  I really wanted to see a pika, but we only saw chipmunks and ground squirrels.  Pika are 6-8 inches long and have reddish fur and are really cute.  Natalie, our wildlife guide in Grand Teton, said you can hear pica before you see them because they make loud squeaking noises.  There were a few signs saying we were in grizzly territory along he drive, but we didn't see any bears either.  

Here's the count:

Rocky Mountain Goats: 7 (6 along the Beartooth Highway and one on Baronnette Mountain in Yellowstone)

Mule Deer:  4 (in our campground)

Uinta Ground Squirrels:  5

Eagles: 2 Chipmunks:  6
