Dang. I’ve never seen a big horn in the wild, though I’ve wandered in areas of known herds (eg pine creek canyon in the Sierra).
This is the response i got when i stepped outside to start my day

Think your town has critters? This is a few hundred yards from my wife's office, she is often walking our puppy home at this time.

Yup. Urban Grizzlies aren’t gonna last long after momma kicks them out next spring. Their range is now from Yellowstone to Hoback. It’s also going to change recreational trail paranoia/reality all over the valley.
I heard an anti grizz radio ad on the local (Jackson) station yesterday. Paid for by friends of the elk or some group? Is that a new thing or ongoing?Quote:

Yea it sure as hell does. If you want to hear some serious grizzly/wolf hate in Wyoming I can introduce you to my family of northwestern Wyoming ranchers.Quote:

Traffic jam after a ski day last winter. Pretty sure one had a “Native” bumper sticker and shoot me a sideways look.
Shitty pics of a pretty cool hawk (red tail?) I saw on a run this week.

Nature on PBS has been running a series about wildlife in the Rockies. Lots of good video from GTNP, Jellystone, and Glacier. The usual sappy narration. Bear 399 and her 4 cubs feature prominently in episode 2. (Apparently old bears don't sleep any better than old humans--she still wasn't hibernating well into December.)
2 episodes so far, I don't know if more.
(The narration is not nearly as bad as the current Nova about the Universe. That is borderline-to-flat-out unlistenable.)
Saw these two bighorn on an early hike and was able to get within 50 feet before they sidled off the trail and grazed 70 feet away.

Saw an osprey yesterday. Shouldn't it be somewhere warmer by now? Bodes ill for the ski season.

The lakes and rivers here don't freeze or freeze rarely. Wouldn't it have to do more with water temps and the availability of fish near the surface? If talking with fishermen at Donner Lake the last few days is any indication the fish are not plentiful--no one has caught a thing, The maps don't show this area to be a year round habitat but bird maps, like flood maps, probably need updating to deal with warming.Quote:

I think they'll beat it on out of there if they sense a 2-3 day storm on it's way.
Stay away from my tires, mr horny buck!

(He’s chowing on madrone berries)
I think he's just sympathizing with the universal problems of winter tire storage.
