Wild Animals in the Field meme

The other day Brian from Clastic Detritus started this domesticated animals in the field meme, with Silver Fox, Geotripper, Bryan, and Life-long Scholar following. So I thought it would be fun to see what kinds of wild animals folks run into when in the field - so consider this a Wild Animals in the Field meme. Feel free to include any funny/interesting stories!

From Glacier National Park: I never get good shots of bears. I have seen so many, but I never have my camera in hand when I see them usually. Maybe that is why I am still around ;) Bears are so awesome!




This marmot is sitting on a stromatolite. That was pretty cool!

Piceance Basin:

Nebraska Badlands:

Yes, this rabbit is in a tepee. Smart rabbit!

There are many more where those came from, but I figured that was probably good for now. What have you all seen??

Domesticated Animals in the Field meme

Silver Fox's blog reminded me of this new meme, and since I have not blogged here in a few days (check my other blog), I'll join in on this one (sorry for the over use of the word 'blog' in this post lol). Brian at Clastic Detritus started this domesticated animals in the field meme, with Silver Fox, Geotripper, Bryan, and Life-long Scholar following. So here is my contribution for the domestic side of things: a horse. I saw him this summer while working in the Piceance Basin. He did not want to have anything to do with me, other than watch. I really could have used a ride out of there about then too. Ahh well.
