Black tipped tale and muley ears. I noticed the red spots on the medial aspect of the leg joints (knees?) on this doe and another one a block over. That led me to learn about tarsal glands. This one also has a tuft of loose hair and a bow legged walk (https://photos.app.goo.gl/rbWbP2Rd3anTYtHS8).

Park volunteer reported a beaver had been seen on the trail. As I approached this area, some other people were watching it. They explained this was the 2nd time they’d seen it today. It was collecting Aspen branches from a hillside and dragging them into the woods lower down. Maybe building a lodge on Taggart Creek?
Photo may not be good enough to ID. The branches on the ground next to it are the ones it was dragging.

Sound quiet at 9 sec and 23 sec. Sorry for the rustling noises. I was trying to be quiet, but obviously the mic picked up noises near me much better than the owl.

I noticed a large number of ravens roosting on glenwood and west Hansen. There was variation to the bird call sounds. Skip the first 20 sec on the audio to avoid the sounds of me walking on crunchy snow. :)

My friend was pretty sure these were mountain lion tracks. We saw them for at least .25 miles on the trail. Unfortunately light was flat and there were domestic dog prints mixed in. We found a coyote carcass near by (https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/198946784). For what it’s worth, we also heard a report that wolves have been in the area recently and mountain lions are commonly in the area.

Contains graphic photos. Coyote? Carcass within 20 yards of Game Creek winter trail. Someone who lives nearby reports hearing mountain lions and wolves in the area not too long ago. We saw some large tracks on the trail nearby and will post those separately.

I’m trying to get better at IDing based on growth habit and other things that can be determined at a distance. CV is suggesting Pinus, which feels off. I think Doug fir because of the growth habit.

The ravens were having quite the conversation. The photos weren’t that clear. The were mostly hidden in the spruces and it was dusk.

Was chewing on a twig. I felt that I could make out the tail under the water. I don’t know that you can quite make it out in the photos.
