Jeremy's Birds (and More)

4 Peaks in 4 Days: Day 1 - Wheeler Peak, NM Wheeler Peak.  This shot was taken at William's Lake, just before the brutal assent, 1,000 ft in elevation in just over a mile!  Below are the plants and animals we encountered along the way. We saw this Yellowbelly Marmot on the very peak. It was very accustomed to humans and was looking for a handout.

Porcupine   We were on a Saturday drive looking for herds of elk (Feb 2008), when we saw this procupine in a tree. This was one of the better shots of the bunch.

Golden Mantled Squirrel   Saw this on the way up Mt. Borah (Idaho) with Neal. Obvious how it got it's name.
