sheep_herder ★ Posted January 21, 2020 Author Share #2 Posted January 21, 2020 The fellow I rode and photographed with today, and we hope to take a few more trips. I knew him when he worked at the Experiment Station. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirby Posted January 21, 2020 Share #5 Posted January 21, 2020 Wonderful pictures. Thank you for posting them. I love the scenes with the geese on the ground and in the air. So atmospheric! What is the animal in the three in the 5th picture? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought that was an unusual question, who hasn’t seen a porcupine in a tree before but then I realized a lot of people probably haven’t. Porcupines are survival food. If someone is lost for days in the wilderness and starving a porcupine is fairly easy to catch and kill with a club. I think that is one reason they are protected.

Kirby Posted January 21, 2020 Share #9 Posted January 21, 2020 I thought it was a porcupine, but I didn't know they climbed trees. I don't think I've ever seen one in real life. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MickinMD ★ Posted January 21, 2020 Share #12 Posted January 21, 2020 Thanks for the pics. We've got almost all of the same animals in the park I walk Jake the Golden Doodle except for the Bald Eagles. We get lots of Canada Geese, hundreds of which winter in that park and often fly 20 feet overhead in the same numbers as in your pics - making me glad I wear a hat! I've often wondered why those that come here fly all the way from the northern Hudson Lake area and then stop in Maryland when they only have to go a little farther to hit almost-no-snow, warmer states. So I'm amazed some of them winter in Montana! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheep_herder ★ Posted January 21, 2020 Author Share #13 Posted January 21, 2020 There is a lot of feed on grain fields and many visit alfalfa fields, as well as, feed grounds, where producers are feeding cattle and sheep. Some areas in the Yellowstone River stay open all winter due to currents and some warm springs. So, they have everything they need to survive. Goose season ends Wednesday, so they will be able to relax. Actually that was a relatively small group in the photo, in comparison to some that fly over our house and pasture, as they go from fields to the river and return. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
