of sign:
River
Feast
This
bend in the river attracts water birds year-round. Here the Yellowstone
is broad, slow-moving, and shallow a place where
trout
and aquatic vegetation can thrive. Bald eagles, pelicans, and osprey
catch fish here; mallards and Canada geese bob for
underwater
plants.
The
birds are extremely sensitive to human disturbance. Except for two
short stretches open to catch-and-release fishing, the
Yellowstone
River is closed to fisherman throughout Hayden Valley.
In
winter watch for the trumpeter swans along this ice-free section.
Thermal discharge warms the river enough to keep it open all
year.
