Well, it involved about 40 miles of not-so-great gravel road an an absolutely filthy dusty Miata, and a slightly exhausted husband but it was a great wildlife drive.
More big horn sheep, first on the road then just above it on loose scree. The animal wardens cruised by and hazed them with a flash-bang of some kind to get then away from traffic. They ran a few 100 yards but I suspect were back before long.
A black bear. Happily munching on berries. He was completely unconcerned about us…he was focused on eating. Kent got some great pics. We stopped…but we didn’t get out of the car.
Protective mom. A cow moose really checked us out (we were a couple hundred yards away) as she and her calf came out of the marsh. Once she was satisfied of their safety they ambled on across the road. We got a closer look as we rolled slowly by. They are really pretty goofy looking critters.
Eagles soaring high overhead.
