A handsome Barn Owl today
Wow! I'm envious of the work you do.

Don't wanna get shot by the police?

It is gratifying to be able to help animals, but also sad and tragic when they're so injured that they have little chance to survive even with good veterinary care. Like the Great Horned Owl pictured above, this Barn Owl had apparently hit a fence at night. Unfortunately, these things happen beyond anyone's control but they are significant impacts on wildlife due to human development. Sometimes all you have left is to educate people about how to minimize risks to wildlife, and to know when not to interfere and instead let nature take it's course.Originally Posted by Bailey Guns
Today the magpies were raising a ruckus in the yard and I figured there might be a predator nearby. Sure enough, about 20 yards from the house was a Great Horned Owl that just wanted some peace and quiet.
A little while later I spotted this Rock Squirrel that was happy to have found a pile of peach pits by the wood pile.
My wife and I spent a couple nights in Estes Park last week.
Nice, I want to see a big fella like that during 2nd season.My wife and I spent a couple nights in Estes Park last week.
Driving home from the Millsite this evening I spotted a bull moose move into the aspens. I don't see bulls very often so I stopped hoping to get a view. There was a cow with him, and Bullwinkle was intently focused on sniffing out her love canal. It must be getting close to the moose rut. I thought he might get lucky.
It was getting dark and I was shooting handheld so the pics are disappointing, but you get the idea. Sure is fun watching those huge majestic animals.
From today in RMNP
And just to keep it wildlife related, caught it while he was bugling
Beautiful water. Nice bull! Can hardly wait for the upcoming elk season.....
Last evening we hiked up a favorite glacial kettle pond to look for moose, elk and whatever else. Only saw a single mallard hen in the lilies, and a snipe moving through the sedges.
This evening I walked along the driveway and heard some noise in the timber across the highway. A big bull moose walked across the road and toward me, then down the driveway and through the yard. It was getting dark at 6:45 p.m., but I got some quick images courtesy of the flash and photoshop. Another younger bull followed him down through the yard. Always exciting!
They smell funny, a distinctively different pungent character than elk, deer or antelope.
