A mountain lion kitten who did not want to be filmed!

A mountain lion family (mom and two kittens) killed an elk near my house. While one kitten was at the kill by himself, he noticed my tripod with a trail cam on it, and he knocked it over. It made me laugh.

Mink, mink, otter!

 Because otters are threatened in Colorado, capturing video one in the creek by our house makes me very happy! It also was fun to see the very big fish that the mink caught in the creek.

Predators at a mountain wallow

A tree fell across a wallow in a meadow on my land. To my surprise, it was a popular spot for raptors and mustelids. Do you think that the weasels are long tailed or short tailed?
