Nature Alphabet Park Index

At Acadia National Park, we’ve got a hawk friend, a snowshoe hare, a beaver, and a fox buddy. We’ve got a fern, we’ve got some puffball mushrooms, and we’ve got some cutie view of the Bass Harbor Head Light Station.

Our friends at Bryce Canyon include a tiny Utah prairie dog, a pronghorn, and a mountain lion, all frollicking amongst the rabbit brush and Mountain Death-camas!

Living in the Canyonlands C, we’ve got a canyon bat friend and a tiny kangaroo rat that I made sure to shield from the midget faded rattlesnake by a claretcup cactus (because this is NOT a crime scene illustration)!

Hanging out at Denali National Park and Preserve are a Dall’s sheep, a grizzly bear, a moose, and a golden eagle. Bog blueberry available for snacks.

Swimming around Everglades National Park are the American crocodile, a sweet river otter and a longnose gar. Joining them are a white Ibis, a sneaky gray fox climbing a tree, and some string lilies that are absolutely essential and more than just space fillers for this piece (please don’t tell them otherwise).

We’re heading to New Zealand for our F friends! We’ve got a whole pack of (mostly flightless) birds hanging out, including a kakapo, a takahe, a kiwi, and a crested penguin. They’re hanging out with a view, as well as some purple lupines and mountain daisies.

At Grand Canyon National Park, a beautiful little gila monster lounging around with a ringtail, bison, California candor, and javelina nearby. A claretcup hedgehog cactus, rubber rabbitbush, and prickly pear cactus look on as the #36daysoftype challenge is kicking my butt.

On land at the Haleakalā National Park, we’ve got a Haleakalā silversword, an ‘i‘iwi bird on māmane flowers and a hawaiian goose grazing. In the ocean a monk seal, green sea turtle, and a humuhumunukunukuapua'a fish hang with a humpback whale.

At Isle Royale National Park, the wolf, moose and beaver all taking pause surrounded by a leatherleaf plant and a bearberry by the Rock Harbor Lighthouse.

Surrounded by Joshua trees, California poppies, a cholla cactus and the skull rock, a coyote, kangaroo rat, white tail antelope squirrel, and roadrunner spend their Tuesday afternoon chatting about the weather at the Joshua Tree National Park.

A bald eagle is cruising by Kenai Fjords National Park as all the brown bears are fishing for sockeye salmon. The incredibly cute horned puffin hangs with the common fireweed and lowbush cranberries.

Lassen Volcanic National Park’s super stars include the Lassen paintbrush, California tortoise shell butterfly, an osprey, a cutie Sierra Nevada fox, a snowshoe hare, and my favorite little friend, the American pika. They’re all hanging out in Bumpass Hell (but it’s nicer than it sounds!)

Our friends at Mesa Verde National Park include a weasel, a collared lizard, a wild turkey, and a spotted owl by some Mule’s ears and globemallows.

At North Cascades National Park, a marmot, a lynx, a mule deer, and a Vaux's swift spending a nice Saturday together with some red columbine and dwarf lupine blooms.

Spending a beautiful Monday morning at the Olympic National Park, we have a raccoon, a bobcat, a Roosevelt elk and some western sword ferns!

A raven, a pronghorn, a desert cottontail, a badger, turkey vulture, and a Western tanager all walk into a petrified forest… and hang out with a plains pricklypear and rubber rabbitbrush.

Spending time under the Queulat Glacier, one of the the tiniest wildcats in the world and the tiniest deer in the world are hanging out by one of the biggest leaves in the world (kodkod and pudu by the Chilean rhubarb), while the magellanic woodpecker (who, not to be excluded from extremes, is largest woodpecker in South America) pecks away!

My neighbors at Rocky Mountain National Park include a dusky grouse, a yellow bellied marmot, a black bear, an elk, a bighorn sheep, and a red crossbill among alpine sunflowers and some prickly poppies.

A black bear, a mountain lion, a California quail and a western tanager all hang out among the giant sequoia trees at the Sequoia National Park!

A Baltimore Oriole, a bison, a feral horse, a great horned owl, and a prairie rose spending their Wednesday relaxing at Theodore Roosevelt National Park.

Our Australian mates at Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park include a red kangaroo, a dingo, a thorny devil, a zebra finch, and a rainbow bee eater.

At Voyageurs National Park, sandpipers fly above as a gray wolf puts on his gray wolf concert for the beaver, moose, and milkweed.

Hanging out at the Wind Cave National Park are a coyote, black footed ferret, American bison, yellow breasted chat, burrowing owl, and some blanket flowers.

A sumatran serow, a pangolin, and long tailed goral all spend their morning together at the Xianju National Park.

At Yellowstone National Park, an American kestrel, a wolverine, and a bison gather by the yellowstone sulphur flower.

A porcupine, mule deer, gray fox and sego lily all hang out at Zion National Park.
