Wildlife Report!

Thanks all! I was expecting to see more bears too. Reading over a bunch of past trips to the area, nearly everyone saw a bear. I hauled along my big 300mm zoom just in case. We found lots of bear evidence - fresh scat, very fresh tracks, and some shredded trees. At least we saw one bear!
AND, for more of the Marlin Perkins report, we saw a beautiful, young Eagle right overhead, and these crazy Humming Birds that were dive bombing me (even up on Indian Head) because of my red shirt! It was pretty funny. agree.gif We also saw the zillions of grasshoppers that Galiwalker mentioned were on the Meandering Meadow leg of the trip - David thought it was running water from the sounds of them. When we brushed past, they started jumping all over the place! dizzy.gif s.d.

Four-paw buddy lets me tag along!

Was it a golden eagle? A mature golden flew over us a few miles W of there a couple years ago.

Opus, great photos of the dew, sun rays, misty forest. You're an artist with your camera.
I second that. Your "foggy trees" photo is nothing short of amazing. up.gif up.gif
