Bear trap in a national park?? What the hell! Is that allowed in the US?

Edit: Oh and nice pics BTW, seems like a nice place

 

[Shrike]

My guess would be that the trap was put in place by biologists or conservation officers from US Fish and Wildlife or a state agency.

Nice pix


We still have snow everywhere here, can't wait till spring.

Great photos, you had quite the nature hike. Well-documented too. That butterfly, although it resembles a monarch is not a true monarch. It is Danaus gilippus (commonly known as the Queen butterfly).

That's in fact a wolf spider (Lycosidae). Dolomedes carry their sacs in their fangs.
