September 12, 2022 • Leave a Comment

"PARADE OF PIKAS" Pika - 11 Photos (Kananaskis, Alberta, CA) Caught the pikas with their little rabbit like faces on a warm sunny evening. They seemed to be extremely relaxed (for pikas, that is) and if one was indulging in a little daydreaming, almost teasing in their antics. At one time, two in particular, who were at opposite sides of the sc...

"RAM TOUGH" (Kananaskis, Alberta, CA) Rocky Mountain Sheep - 7 Photos Was a little surprised to see these two rams down so low at this time of the year.

"LIFE ON THE GREEN PATIO" Beaver (North American) - 9 Photos Spotted two beavers in a bit of an alcove among the bull rushes. I followed what I assume to be a "beaver path" down the incline for a closer look and there they were, enjoying a warm summer evening, munching on deciduous matter. From their sizes and closeness, I assume they were the two...

"MOOSE WALK" Moose (North American) - 3 Photos Well we probably all have heard of the "moon walk". Well this is the moose walk!
