He’s Back ?
In spring my son saw a Bluejay on my deck railing. He decided to feed him some peanuts. Well that turned into an assembly line, he was thrilled with 7 Bluejays taking turns picking up peanuts .
Next thing you know the squirrels arrive… up to 6 of them.
One particular squirrel became very demanding. If you aren’t attentive he literally would jump an tailslap the sliding door.
After taking my car in for inspection my mechanic found peanuts in the air filter compartment. We left for a vacation and when we got back there was a hawk on the railing. I was hoping if he had to eat it would be this guy . Apparently he now has a scar on his head . So far I haven’t given in but my wife fed him one day.

Bighorn sheep and backcountry skiing in the Tetons.

Future Skiing and Riding Access In the Tetons is At Risk

Much of the magic of skiing and snowboarding in the Tetons lies in the idea of traveling through and connecting with wild, remote places - which could be at risk with proposed new bighorn sheep closures.
