Nice weather today. It was sunny and chilly all day, but with no wind, it was pretty nice.

The morning started with a wolf:

This was taken through the scope from about ½ mile. We watched it as it climbed through the trees to a ridge line way up high. There it joined the rest of its pack and they all bedded down for their naps.

Since nothing more was going to happen there for a while, I moved west looking for things to photograph. I found a golden eagle:

And the bighorn rams I've been seeing all week:

There were also the moose I've been seeing and several coyotes that were too far for photos.

After lunch, I went back to where I could see the sleeping wolves and waited. Around 3:00 they woke and started moving around, playing and chasing each other.  I counted 8 of them.  I tried to take some pictures, but they were over 3 miles away and all I got were very blurry spots on the white snow.  After a bit, they then moved over to the other side of the ridge and I didn't see them again, even though I tried.
