Fun Friday: “Got Milk?”

By Jim | Published September 21, 2018

While hiking Logan Pass in August, I came upon two Mountain Goat nannies, one with a kid, along the side of a mountain. They were not very active at the time, so I hung around for a little while. When one of the nannies stood up, her kid quickly moved underneath her to nurse: Photographic […]

Update on the Twins

By Jim | Published July 11, 2018

Today’s post features some updated images of the twin White-tailed Deer fawns, along with momma doe, as they foraged in my front yard yesterday morning.

A Welcomed Second Chance

By Jim | Published June 18, 2018
