Roosting

If you look real close you can see some grouse roosting in the tree still. It usually takes them a while to get going on these cold mornings. Taken 1/29/2007.

The pair of Sandhill cranes that have been hanging around here. Last year I seen their baby around but this year I don't see one. It must not have made it. Hopefully they will have better luck next year. Taken 9/5/2006.

Turkeys

This herd of turkeys caught my eye. There are a large number of all game birds around this year. It must have been a good year for them. That and there is not many coyotes around to prey on them. Taken 8/31/2006.

Squirrel

I caught this little fella chewing on a pine cone while I was checking a water hole. I had noticed for quite a while that something had been chewing on the tree but wasn't sure what. Turns out it wasn't chewing the tree but chewing the pine cones. My Darling Wife told me it was a chipmunk. I wasn't sure and did some research and discovered it to be a Red Squirrel. Taken 8/14/2006.

Fox

A picture My Darling Wife got of one of the fox hanging around the place. As long as they leave me alone I will leave them alone but I keep waiting for them to go after My Darling Wife's chickens. Then I will have to thin the population down. Taken 7/24/2006.

Watching

On the left of this picture you see my boy out for his morning walk climbing the hills and rocks for fun. I know it's hard to see but there is a fox on the right hand side of the picture watching him. There is a den of fox on the hill and they are so used to him, they aren't very scared anymore. Best viewed large to see the fox. Taken 6/23/2006.

Babies

I spooked up two antelope kids (calves, fawns?) yesterday on my way home. I finally saw mom up on the hill a little ways away. They ran up to her. Taken 6/22/2006.

They Are Back

The cranes are back in the country. There has been a pair nesting here for about 3 years now and they keep coming back. They overflew us twice while feeding so I assume they are letting us know they are here. Taken 4/7/2006.

Sharptail Grouse

Sharptail grouse foraging for food during the light snow storm on Thursday. There were quite a few more in the area that I didn't get a picture of. I have never seen so many around during the winter. Maybe the coyotes will bother them and leave my calves alone.

Sighting

I saw something yesterday I haven't seen in years. A XXXXXXXX. I saw them as a kid sometimes but even seeing one like I did was neat. Hopefully I will begin to see a few more around. It wouldn't hurt my feelings.

By the way, I never admit to seeing a critter that is on or might be listed on the endangered species list. Admitting to it is a good way for the Government to come down on you and control what you can and can't do with your property. That's why I won't identify what I saw. Plausible deniability.
