On our way to Bridger’s last soccer practice this evening, Bridger and I “discovered” that there are not one, but two fox dens out near Ft. Missoula, in the same general area as last year. The two dens have kits of distinctly different size. One of the smaller kits…

I also enjoyed watching an [...]

Last weekend I enjoyed a trip to Yellowstone with my parents, aunt and two little cousins. It was my first trip since the interior roads were opened to wheeled vehicles for Spring 2009. We enjoyed seeing a couple black bears and three grizzlies over the course of the weekend — or at least parts of [...]
