Wildlife

We had one early snow at the beginning of October which drove all the geese down from the mountain (or Canada, who knows) and into our front yard. Okay, not literally our front yard, but we live across from the golf course and they made the golf course their new home. Let me tell you, those things honk ALOT!! Here's two of the pictures I got of them.

















Those pictures don't even begin to capture how many of them there really are. You can tell in both pictures that they are walking away from me...geese are pretty skittish (and did I mention loud!!)

Recently, we have had more snow and I think the geese finally realized Pinedale is not south enough for them because they have left. Maybe they are heading to Texas?!

More snow and colder temperatures means more animals are coming down out of the mountains and into our town! Last week I was leaving the house around 5pm to go to the library and was startled to see 16 deer staring at me from across the street. Of course I had to run and get the camera.

I love the little one playing peek a boo on the left side of this picture.
































I thought they were all does but on the way back from the library I spotted this guy!
