Lucky to see this MINK up close and get a photo. They can be underwater without resurfacing for over 30 minutes.

Saw this little ermine at A-Basin in January. I watched him take down a mouse that was half his size. Not sure how I got the photo because he was super quick.

Nice shots. In that first shot it has an evil look. Looks sort of like a dingo.

Local bunny over the seasons... some of these are LONG shots hence the fuzziness as they are pretty skittish, but cool to watch them change coats

Northern Goshawk - Male

Not common in Colorado. Since the 80's, I've seen them a few times in the front range, never close enough for a decent photo. This particular male was somewhat cooperative for a few photos.
