Happy first official day of spring! Though actual spring is still a ways off in Yellowstone, we sure are excited to see this year’s baby animals arrive in the coming months.

This is for all you college basketball fans watching March Madness! We’ve noticed Yellowstone animals represented throughout the team names in the both the men’s and women’s tournaments.

We’ve got Cougars and Catamounts, multiple “Wildcat” teams, Bobcats, Bears and Bruins, Golden Eagles, Bison, Wolverines, Eagles (we’ll say Bald), Wolf Packs, Owls, Jackrabbits, Lopes (we’ll say Pronghorn), Hawks, Rams, Blue Jays (rare, but we’ll count ‘em), and Hornets. Apologies if we missed a few…

Do you have a favorite?

We had some wild weather blow in this morning at the park’s North Entrance. Went from rain to blizzard-like conditions in a matter of minutes. You have to be prepared for all kinds of weather this time of year. ☔️❄️🥶

It’s hard to believe that our winter Institute programs are just about over for the season. Based out of the Lamar Buffalo Ranch, the last Field Seminar of winter, Lamar Valley Wolf Week, takes place this week.

Here is a look back at a previous Field Seminar through the eyes of one of our staff participants. There is nothing like the magic of winter in Yellowstone, and even more so when you share the experience with friends. ❄

As our winter programs in Yellowstone wind down, we would be remiss not to give a huge shout out to our staff, educators, and volunteers with the Yellowstone Forever Institute! They work incredibly hard to bring fun, first-rate education and adventures to park visitors. Though not all pictured here, thank you all!

Summer season programs and tours start up again in May. See you then!

Sometimes it feels like you're just waiting out winter.

--Yellowstone National Park News Release-- Tuesday

--Yellowstone National Park News Release-- Tuesday, March 7, a Yellowstone National Park wildlife biologist on a radio telemetry flight observed the first grizzly bear of 2023 to emerge from hibernation. The adult bear, estimated at 300-350 pounds, was seen near the remains of a bison carcass in Pelican Valley, in the central-eastern part of the park.

The first bear sighting of 2022 also occurred on March 7.

Male grizzlies come out of hibernation in early March. Females with cubs emerge in April and early May. When bears emerge from hibernation, they look for food and often feed on elk and bison that died over the winter. Sometimes, bears will react aggressively to encounters with people when feeding on carcasses.

“Spring visitors skiing, snowshoeing, or hiking in Yellowstone National Park are reminded to carry bear spray and be especially alert for bears near carcasses and areas with early spring green-up. These are the first foods sought out by grizzlies after emerging from hibernations,” said Kerry Gunther, the park's bear management biologist.

All of Yellowstone National Park is bear country: from the deepest backcountry to the boardwalks around Old Faithful. The park restricts certain visitor activities in locations where there is a high density of bears, along with elk and bison carcasses. Restrictions will begin in some bear management areas on March 10.
