In an effort to increase access, I have made my latest e-book, Yellowstone Wildlife during Summer, Open Access which ensures that anyone in the world can read this book for free. All I ask, as explained in the book, is that you donate to my research (see bottom of this page) if you enjoyed the read. That will help facilitate the production of more books like this one. Enjoy!
I have a love affair with Yellowstone. It is an amazing place with tremendous scenery, awe inspiring geologic features, and abundant wildlife, along with great people happy to be in the world’s first national park. I have been to the park 24 times up through early 2021, for a total of 213 days. I have written four books related to my experiences: My Yellowstone Experience (2013), The Trip of a Lifetime (2020), Christmas in Yellowstone (2021), and Mud, I mean April, in Yellowstone (2021) . However, because the majority of people travel to national parks in the summertime, I thought a tome about wildlife in Yellowstone during the busy season would be a unique contribution to the literature, and would be personally meaningful to the many tourists who visit the park during the busy season to seek out the park’s famous fauna.
This major project came about, in part, because many of my Facebook friends (including family members) continue to be enchanted with the pictures that I post when I travel. For this pictorial montage, I combed through about 7,000 images from my 7 most recent summertime trips and select files from other trips. I chose my best 661 pictures during the summertime for this book.

Note: Because this is a longer book there is a way in Adobe Acrobat to resume where you left off (i.e., at the last page you read). In Adobe Reader, go to “Edit” and at the bottom click on “Preferences” (or simply hit “Ctrl + K” buttons). From there, click on “Documents” at the top left of the menu and then “check the box” at the top of that screen for ‘Restore last viewed settings when reopening documents’. Once you click that, scroll down and click “OK”. PDFs will now open where you left off instead of at the beginning. This is not a default setting so you manually have to do it, unfortunately.
