Welcome to my new website, My Yellowstone Experience. In the Events section of my sister (Eastern Coyote Research) webpage, I describe the powerpoint slideshow that I offer based on my many visits to the world’s first national park (established in 1872). This talk, “My Yellowstone Experience: A Photographic Journey of the World’s First National Park”, describes the unique geology and hydrothermal features, as well as the spectacular scenery and wildlife that lives there. In the presentation, you’ll see photographs of elk, bison, bighorn sheep, black bears, coyote-badgers, and wolves, along with the park’s unique geology and scenery.
In addition to the talk that I offer, I am in the midst of publishing a book on the same title and thought that a separate website about My Yellowstone Experience is in order at this time. Hopefully soon (sometime in 2011) I will have a link to buy this book both here and on my Eastern Coyote Research store tab! In the meantime, if you have any questions regarding my Yellowstone, or eastern coyote/coywolf research, then please contact me (Jon) at: easterncoyoteresearch@yahoo.com.
If there could be a polar geographic opposite to Yellowstone National Park located mostly in Northwestern Wyoming, it would be the flat coastal region of Cape Cod, Massachusetts where I am from. While in graduate school, however, I supplemented my knowledge of eastern coyotes/coywolves by visiting Yellowstone on several occasions and observing the famous and popular coyotes and wolves (and other wildlife) that live there. I have met some great people along the way. Amazingly, some wildlife watchers (a generic title to folks that spend lots of time looking for wildlife in the park) spend months at a time in the park and/or use all of their free vacation time to come to Yellowstone multiple times per year. This website is a tribute to the remarkable people, geology, animals, and scenery that make Yellowstone so spectacular. I particularly would like to thank Steve Cifuni, my friend and frequent traveling companion to Yellowstone. Steve and I literally shared cameras and gear during our weeks together. Additionally, I would like to thank Rick McIntyre and Laurie Lyman for greatly facilitating wolf (and many other species) watching when I am in the park.
So, relax and enjoy the pictures and accompanying text as you take a short voyage on “My Yellowstone Experience”! I hope you enjoy “My Yellowstone Experience” as much as I do. Maybe I'll get to see you in Yellowstone one day!
