This is what birds call a "zoom" meeting! White-throated swifts fly at high speed (up to 200 mph, by some estimates), diving and swerving around one another as they feast on insects over the Merced River. These highly social birds nest in large colonies on rocky cliffs, so it's not too suprising to find them here in the valley! Did you know that Yosemite is home to 165 species of resident and migratory birds? Learn more about Yosemite's birds: https://www.nps.gov/yose/learn/nature/birds.htm | Yo

Sierra Foodie: Top Eats in Yosemite Mariposa | Discover Yosemite National Park

Yosemite Falls in all its glory - birds chirping, water roaring, and mist rising feels like one of the most peaceful sights in the world. One of the best views of this iconic waterfall from Yosemite Valley is just a short walk away on the Lower Yosemite Fall Trail. This easy 1.2-mile out-and-back trail brings you right to the base of the lower fall, where you can feel the power of the water up close, hear its thunder echo through the trees, and maybe even catch a rainbow in the spray if you’re l

Do you believe in magic? Today’s soundtrack of Nature Songs is brought to you by Yosemite’s magical meadows. It’s easy to be awed by the big sights of Yosemite –today we encourage you to slow down and tune in to everything that is taking place right here at ground level. While meadows account for approximately 3% of the park’s area, they contain 50% of the park’s biodiversity. Black bears and mule deer graze meadow grasses, monarch butterflies flit across milkweeds, and California red-legged fro

Turn the volume up for waterfall and bird sounds! With a quiet valley and the arrival of spring, Yosemite's wildlife had a busy weekend! We identified a variety of birds, spotted several coyotes, watched entertaining squirrels, and even found a bear, recently awoken from hibernation, grazing on fresh spring grass. Yosemite is home (at least part of the year) to about 90 species of mammals and over 200 species of birds, not to mention amphibians, reptiles, insects, and other small critters! Explo

The birds are starting to notice the change of seasons. Spotted just before the storm last week, this flock of red-winged blackbirds (Agelaius phoeniceus), with perhaps a few Brewer’s blackbirds (Euphagus cyanocephalus) in the mix, was singing away up a tree near the welcome center in Yosemite Valley. At this distance, the males’ bold red and yellow shoulders are too difficult to see, but that resonating trill of their song is unmistakable. They’ll become more visible in the next few months when

Throughout human history, songs have served as a catalyst for connection. Songs have continuously been used to celebrate one’s culture, bring people together and bring about the emotions that only music can surface. While we may be surrounded by human song on our day-to-day basis, we may also encounter them through the natural world around us. As a Global Important Bird Area, Yosemite is enriched by birdsongs throughout the park. Although birdsongs may sound like beautiful melodies for us, they

521 - Yosemite’s Fascinating Ravens | One of the Smartest Birds on Earth While standing in front of Yosemite Valley’s gift shop, I had a close encounter with one of the park’s most remarkable residents — a common raven. Far more than just a large black bird, ravens are among the most intelligent animals on the planet. In this video, I share the science behind what makes ravens so extraordinary: their ability to solve complex problems, remember human faces, communicate using dozens of vocalizatio

Lower and North Pines Campgrounds, along with Housekeeping Camp, will remain closed through Sunday night. Based on current forecasting, we are not planning any additional closures this weekend. This could change if the river rises more than forecast. Important information if you are visiting this weekend: • Do not approach or enter rivers in Yosemite. Even calm portions of rivers

(Sound on! 🔈) Right now, Yosemite Valley’s hottest club is… the meadow! In early spring, Pacific tree frogs (also known as Pacific chorus frogs) gather in Yosemite Valley’s moist meadows, looking for love. When the sun goes down, the party begins. Male frogs call loudly in an effort to attract females, inviting even more males to join the chorus. Female frogs lay their eggs here in the meadow’s aquatic environment. Tadpoles spend the first weeks of their lives here. Then, like their parents, th

@nationalparkservice, talking about bobcat names? Well, we can only assume that this one here prefers to go by “Bobcattus Rex, Rodentia’s Bane, Spry Hunter of the Granite Vale” considering how proudly it’s showing us that nature is indeed metal. Regardless of preferred title, though, this bobcat is playing its proper ecological role as a predator. By hunting small birds and mammals, bobcats act as a natural check on those animals’ populations within the big web of competing influence and consequ
