Colorado also has some other pretty incredible Wildlife…….
Bighorn sheep are pretty cool
What a treat to see this Coyote – with young!
Marmots are cool rodents
You may not expect Skimmers or Dragonflies
and so are these big Elk!
and Prairie Dogs who weren’t Coyote fans.
but can’t beat the cuteness of this Pika!
but they were abundant!
