it is a mountain goat. Sheep are the ones with the big curl - think of the rams foot ball team logo.

the sheep and goats are all very habituated to humans. It some cases too much. They will almost let you touch them and somtimes they will ram you or your car if you get to close. They are very fast when they want to be. I never approach them and always shoot at least 300mm if not more.

Well, the flower season is just about over. Glacier Park saw it's first freeze and snow fall of the summer. There still are great shooting opportunities, and the grass still is green the animals should become more active as the heat subsides.

Take care, Finalshot

I find that to be amazing. It is still mid August. What is it like there for you in the winter?

Damn cold! 40 below is common.

In a normal 5 year cycle we will see snow at least once per month in any given month. two years ago we had 5 feet in june, and last year it snowed four inches in mid July. You must always be ready for bad weahter, no one puts there snow shovel away. . .

Tony I know this is an old post but I thought that shot was really great. Can you tell me where it is taken? If I have time I would like to see it.

Thanks

Matt

that shot was taken in 2005 right below logan mountain looking west up reynolds creek. That's logan pass on the right.

The bear grass wont be as prolific for at least onother 3 years, and could even be more depending on the conditions. That said, every spring ther are few that bloom, but usually not many. You have to catch about every 5th year to get good bear grass. . .
