Here are a couple of summer residents we ran across the other day while checking out a fishing spot for the opening day of trout season Saturday. Looks as though they are pretty well settled in now.
They picked a safe and very pleasant place to raise their family this year.
Mother nature even did a little [...]

I saw the little lady enter the house several times while the [...]

It was a rare pleasure to see this little guy the other day because I haven’t seen one for many years. I know they are plentiful north of here all of the way to Alaska, but fairly scarce around here. I was surprised to see him at an elevation of around 6,000 feet, which is [...]
