Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks

This fire adapted ecosystem continues to perform as it has for thousands of years. Currently, Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks have two wildfires, Rattlesnake and Moraine Fires, burning in designated wilderness.

Did you know…
• When a fire starts in a national park site, fire manager's number one priority is the protection of life and property
• If a fire is human caused, this park reacts with a full suppression response. The two fires currently burning were naturally caused by lightning strikes and the park is utilizing minimal impact suppression techniques or MIST
• Climate change has altered fire behavior from a fire season to a fire year
• Many parks have fire effects monitors, a team of scientists who observe the long-term study of an area in regards to fire, both before and after fire passes through an area. These folks study the microclimates and biomes in each ecosystem
• A little bit of support now may prevent a lot of smoke later

Most importantly, have a plan for any natural disaster! Practice “Ready, Set, Go”

For more information on Ready, Set, Go, please visit www.readyforwildfire.org/prepare-for-wildfire/ready-set-go/

For more information on air quality, please visit fire.airnow.gov/ or www.nps.gov/seki/learn/nature/airqualityinfo.htm

September 6, 2020: “THE Autumn Call of the Wild"

There are many “Calls of the Wild”…. a wolf howling, an eagle screeching, a coyote yipping, but THE autumn call of the wild is the Rocky Mountain bull elk bugling during the September elk rut. An unforgettable sound that resonates right through you!

This image of a bull elk bugling was during the 2018 NPEG Yellowstone Country in Autumn Groupshoot in Montana.

I am putting the final touches on the 2020 NPEG Yellowstone Country in Autumn Groupshoot. Crisp colder temperatures, and mountain snow are on the way with the colors of Autumn to follow.

Best,
Mark

Grand Teton National Park

We are never alone in Grand Teton National Park. We share the frontcountry and backcountry alike with lots of other critters--even bears! Keep your eyes out for the signs--prints in the mud, claw marks on trees, and scat!

1) Prints—While bear prints are pretty unmistakable, distinguishing between grizzly and black bears can be tricky. A couple of tricks: black bear claws are short (1-2" long) and toes are more spread out in a curved line while grizzly bear claws are long (2-4") and toes are closer together in a straight line. What species of bear do you think this track belongs to?

2) Claw marks—Bears scratch on trees and leave their scent to attract mates and let other bears know that this is their territory.

3) Scat—Remember that bears are omnivorous and scat will look different depending on the season. In the spring, scat tends to be fibrous, tubular, and filled with vegetation, insect parts, and animal remains. When berry season hits in the summer, scat tends to be in loose blobs filled with seeds and berries but can also contain the remains of other food sources.

Whether you are just stopping by a viewpoint, enjoying a picnic, hiking, or camping in Grand Teton, it’s important to know what to do to prevent or deescalate an encounter with a bear. Please follow this link to our website about how to safely recreate in bear country if you are planning a visit: https://www.nps.gov/grte/planyourvisit/bearsafety.htm .

You could save a bear’s life by being educated before an encounter!

Grand Teton National Park

Welcome to Grand Teton National Park's #MicroMonday! The mountains are amazing, the views spectacular, and the sunsets breathtaking. But what about the little things in this ecosystem? Our MicroMonday posts are designed to explore and celebrate the smaller wonders we find all around us.

In winter, snow poles are important markers showing where roads lie for plows. In summer, this snow pole makes the perfect rest stop for a tiny broad-tailed hummingbird. Weighing only a tenth of an once, this female will spend her summer at Grand Teton feeding on nectar from wildflowers such as Indian paintbrush, scarlet gilia, fireweed, giant hyssop and more.

When cold weather comes, this bird, like many of our visitors, will head to warmer temperatures. Broad-tailed hummingbirds usually spend their winters in Mexico. Where are you planning to spend the winter?

Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve

Ranger Steve’s bird journal ~ August 19, 2020⠀
⠀
“Sapsuckers are members of the woodpecker family with all the same adaptations to perch and chisel into dead trees. However, the Red-breasted Sapsucker will also drill holes into living trees, for it is here that they find their favorite food, a golden liquid sap. Similar in shape to a paintbrush, the tongue of a sapsucker is designed to efficiently lap up their liquid diet. The sap wells also attract other birds that come here for the sweet sap. Yellow-rumped warblers and rufous hummingbirds frequently will visit when the sapsucker is vacant.”⠀

Please remember that Executive Order 2020-147 (https://bit.ly/3etqnsx) requires everyone to wear face coverings in indoor public spaces and in crowded outdoor areas. This means that masks are required in DNR facilities like restrooms/shower buildings, contact stations, visitor centers, concessions buildings and any other public indoor spaces. Masks are also required outdoors when social distancing of 6 feet can’t be maintained. Mask usage is incredibly important and required by law to ensure the health and safety of all visitors, volunteers and staff.
