Mountain wildlife
Patience and moving sloooowly offers a chance to see wildlife, like this pair of Bighorn Sheep, with apparently no respect for road signs.
A Canon EF 300mm f/2.8L IS and a 1.4X extender was just enough reach when mated to the 1.3X “magnification” of the Canon EOS 1D Mark III.
The moniker “mule” deer isn’t for nothing!
Marmots apparently like to eat radiator hoses, so don't park your vehicle near a colony!
I found 3 squeaky “nests” (holes in the tree) in a single aspen tree—a dedicated parent.
Not shown is a beautiful adult black bear in prime condition, but alas no appropriate camera, and aforementioned bear was descending a tree about 30 feet away...
