Day three in Yellowstone National Park still wasn't good for bear photography. I've seen a bunch, including a Grizzly Bear sow nursing a yearling cub, but none have been in a good location to photograph them. Instead, I've been focusing on what has been in a good location to photograph, and the group of six American Avocet right at the edge of a dead calm Yellowstone Lake fit the bill. They were mostly bunched up with a lot of unattractive merging, but occasionally one would move out and let me take a great portrait.
