The Blacktail was trophy class, and we found him just before getting to the lodge up on Hurricane Ridge. The 2nd Blacktail and Olympic Marmots were photographed along the H.R. trail. By the way, we learned that this is a species of marmot that is found only in the Olympics - a Washington state exclusive!
When we decided to go to Dungeness Spit the last thing I was thinking of was Ringneck Pheasants, but as we were leaving we spotted a whole family of 'em - the rooster, the hen, and 5 chicks! Odd to see the rooster attending to his family like that, but we were glad he decided to stick around. It's very unusual to find a pheasant that tolerates being photographed.
To top it all off, on Sunday we shot ducks at a pond choked with gorgeous lily pads, and then I found an Osprey nest on my way home!
