My hubby and I saw some pretty amazing wildlife while we were in Colorado.
Here's a few more photos from our trip:
 |
| This little Golden-Mantled Ground Squirrel appears to be hitching a ride... possibly to the nearest squirrel feeder? ~ |
 |
| The Golden-Mantled Ground Squirrel is often confused with a chipmunk, but the squirrel is larger than a chipmunk and has no stripes on its head ~ |
 |
| Don't be surprised to see cows in the middle of the dirt/gravel roads- we often saw this in Colorado! ~ |
 |
| Antelope on the Colorado plains ~ |
 |
| One of Ouray's "pet deer" that wanders freely through town ~ |
 |
| Mom and babies also in Ouray ~ |
 |
| Cute one! ~ |
 |
| A group of Mule Deer at the forest edge outside of Ouray ~ |
 |
| Herds of Elk were a common sight throughout Colorado ~ |
 |
| I'd never heard of a Yak, until I saw this one ~ |
 |
| More Yaks...a special breed on this ranch in Colorado ~ |
 |
| "Hands off my treat!" ~ |
 |
| Another common sight in Colorado are the Magpies...pretty birds. I now wish I had taken more photos of them! ~ |
 |
| This was also the first time I had seen a Mountain Bluebird- what a pretty bird! ~ |
 |
| One of my favorite photos- this friendly dog visits the Jerky store every day- he looks as though he is "placing his order"- "I'll take a sample of each, please". ~ |
Thank you for visiting! I hope you enjoyed these Colorado critters!
