Happy 4th Of July!
Here's something different for a change. Mountain Goats don't fly, but they're incredibly sure footed, and can climb almost totally vertical cliffs. This little one is probably 2 years old and learning how to do things on his own. They still stay in groups, but his mother has run him off.

Eagle across the river.

Here is another shot of the same Bald Eagle after it had moved to the opposite side of us. It was very interested in gathering more mud, or the grass along the river that was in the soft mud, and really not interested in us. Glad we weren't disturbing the nest work that must have been going on across the river.
