I check Flickr most days and Bernie almost always has at least 1 new fantastic shot posted. Wish I had the talent to take even a few pics as well as his!

Goats on Mt. Evans
Outside of Red Rocks
RMNP
Sleeping in RMNP
The look I got when she woke up = Priceless
And back to sleep...

Re: Wildlife
Good call, checked it out online and looks like you are probably correct. He appears to be missing the rust colored chest, but everything else seems dead on....Thanks, I had been wondering what he was!Mark Curtis wrote:cpb145 wrote:

Re: Wildlife
I see one of these just about every hike. Still don't have a picture of an adult. They move fast.
