A pretty bold bird!
Ladybug on the post next to the phone.  Wish I had seen it while taking the photo! (This is a crop from a wide angle shot, lots of data available in a 36 MP image!  Taken along Yellowstone Lake, West Thumb Geyser Basin)
Lined up to get some shelter from the wind?
Clearly the wind tends to blow in one direction.

Black Pool attracted a fair number of photographers, including me!
Attractive dead trees to the north of Black Pool
The stumps in the foreground sort of look like tourists...

Quieter Abyss Pool to the north had its own fan club.
Abyss Pool, looks peaceful.
