LARGE bear peeking in my bedroom window last night. I usually sleep with that window open, but I’d shut it due to temps in the 30’s.

Looking to get warm. I hope you let him in.

Fuck that

I’m not normally impressed by California bears

But shit howdy

That was one big bear

Yellow jackets have been an issue. I caught two mice and left them out for the ravens.

ew- yellow jackets are dicks

read this today and cracked me up- Apparently the Yellowstone rangers play AC/DC Hells Bells over the speakers to disperse the bison jams

“When deputies respond to a bison on the road, they turn on lights and siren and encourage the animals to leave the road with an air horn,” the Sheriff’s Office wrote Tuesday on Facebook. “With a reluctant bison, they’ve been known to play ‘Hells Bells’ over the speakers – that usually seems to work.”

Sure yellow jackets are dicks but it’s cool to see them break down a carcass.





This mouse will be all hair and bones soon.

California Condors.

The first condor is obviously a Peyton Manning fan.

Wow.

Sad. Amazing. Humbling.

Very cool condor pics. Was reading the 1000th hatched this year.

Very cool condor pics. Was reading the 1000th hatched this year.

But only around 500 flying free. The condor on the left in the second photo is #342, the first wild hatched condor since their reintroduction in 1991.

Here kitty kitty

Yesterday morning we had a blue ribbon bear viewing. Though the cabin window a medium sized black bear was sniffing around. We watched as he meandered through a pasture then right up to our cabin.

Motionless we sat as he looked in our windows. Pretty cool. Mrs. SIJ watched some cubs through a window one day, but this was the best I’ve ever seen.

Our ranch kitty is a killer. There is a running rodent gut pile just off the back porch. The magpies clean up most of it, but I surprised he didn’t smell it. Once mountain biking I stood behind a tree as a bear strolled by. I couldn’t believe he didn’t smell me.

Saw these out hunting yesterday. Pretty sure it's a griz based on how far from the toes the claw marks are. And fresh enough to make me turn around.

No pics, saw my first black-tailed jackrabbit yesterday. Taken aback by how big they are. Seriously, larger than most people’s dogs here in Scottsdale

Moments ago. A fox saw me through the window and turned around and left.

He took a shit and from said squat pounced a few times and caught the a vole.

One of the most impressive animal performances I've seen was a big horn ewe bounding through a talus field in the Winds like it was level ground. Doug Robinson (aka Mr. Running Talus) would have been proud.

New neighbor. Likes chicken. It's going to get a free ride to a new home.

I was thinking how far you probably have to take it to make sure it doesn’t find it’s way back.
