What was out there?

Caught a glimpse through the window of something moving way after dark, at about 10:30.  I found these prints on the deck.  Anyone know what it was?




I'm pretty sure it was baby bear.

Go Broncos! Bruce and his lucky shirt!

Sheep dog herding and fighting turkeys

 Strang Ranch, Carbondale, CO

  Starting at the far end of the field and directed by whistles from the trainer, the dog herd the sheep through the middle gates, around the handler counter clockwise, through the right set of gates then through the left gates, into a circle in the field, split the sheep into two sets, bring them back together again and into the pen....sometimes.

 When the dogs are finished with their task, they take a dip in the pool.

On the way home we came across these two male turkeys battling it out in the middle of the road, stopping all cars, but this picture was the best one from the side of the road....

Look what Bruce found!

 We heard something hit the window so Bruce went out and found this little guy.  It was shaking pretty badly so he held in his hand for a while until it calmed down, placed it out in the garage for about 1/2 hour before opening the garage door for it to fly away.  And it did fly away.  Just needed a little warming up and rest period.

Herd of big horn sheep

One ram (center) with his harem.  This was taken on a hike to the Seven Castles area about four miles up the road from us.  The following is a picture of Patti in the gorge.  No flash floods please.
