Everything but dogs...

Today was slow as far as prairie dogs go...although I did see some other interesting stuff. The elk herd, for one thing, expanded in size, as well as coming about a mile closer in, which made it nice to actually see them, as opposed to black blobs on the side of the mountain. I also spotted a Northern Harrier, which is always fun, since they have a distinctive white butt, which no one else in the hawk kingdom does...

Best part about today, though, were the Swainson Hawks playing in mid air, something I've only seen eagles do. They flew together, one upside down, the other right side up, with their talons interlaced. It was beautiful..
