The tundra swans have arrived at Donner Lake. Very cool birds. No chance of getting a decent picture. They stay way out in the middle.

^^ Nice. I've always wanted a chance to cook up a sandhill here in Colorado.
I hunted sandhills for only a couple years about 10 or 12 years ago. There was an early(Sept.) hunt in Teton Valley. Some people call them the Rib-eye of the sky. They were pretty good but not Rib-eye good.
I was out running my setter and new brittany pup yesterday after work and we found 6 woodcock and one grouse along the bare patches in the woods. The woodcock arrived in WI around March 24, but the foot of snow we got last week shut them down. Another round of heavy snow is forecasted this weekend so hopefully the woodcock are ready.
Saw a couple of these guys running along the road in Zion last week:

This guide appears to be a few years old but says the following about bighorn sheep in Zion:Quote:

His name is Glen
Dick Breath seems more appropriate than Glen.
These boys looked hungover from a wild Saturday night:

Few years ago I saw a BIG one on the American River Bike trail. How big?--head was on the center line, tail at the edge of the pavement. Trail is 10 feet wide. You do the math.Quote:

Only semi-wild life, but the other day I saw a crow chasing a squirrel as it run along a utility wire. The squirrel got itself into a tree in a spot too tight for the crow to follow. Weird.

Watched a bull snake eat a mouse by the trail a couple days ago. Couldn't get close enough for a picture as it was in some brush and thrashing around and I had my dog with me. Pretty cool. A mom with her kids was not happy I pointed it out to them. I thought it would be a cool thing that kids would like to see. I don't have kids.
when I was a young kid at summer camp we watched a snake eat a mouse in the terrarium. Now you all why I am the way I am.Quote:

We were at a restaurant, it was funnee. Scene of the crime:

Goat ftw in this thread.
This gal has been hanging around the last week or so. Obviously pregnant. Makes walking around at night interesting.

Seen a few of these lately.

The snow chickens are going nuts.

The snow squirrel-rats are cute.

And then there's this. Having to adjust my behavior because I am sharing space with animals that could kill me is a new experience and not one I am all that comfortable with.

Found a new trail through the woods tonight, which immediately became the old trail through the woods.
Found mama bear and 1 cub, pretty sure she has another (there was 2 last year) figured I better get the heck out of there before she saw me.
