Re: Wildlife
Had three cool sightings recently, but was not able to get any photos:
Saw:
Two Pileated Woodpeckers - which are huge and the first time I've ever seen them
A fisher
An ermine in a white winter coloring.

Re: Wildlife
The first time I saw a pileated woodpecker, I thought it was a lawn decoration....until it flew away.
Since that sighting, I have seen a pair of them which visited a dead tree in my yard a few days last year.
I gotta get me an Avatar.

A fox I saw on top of a peak in Jeffco today. I'm pretty sure these rocks are his home!
