Colorado, Part 3: Wildlife

Deserving of its own post is all the wildlife we saw in Rocky Mountain National Park.  First off, we saw a bear (although not at close range – this photo had to be cropped for it to even look like a bear.)

We saw elk at multiple places in the park and even by our cabin.IMG_5283IMG_5104
We also saw many marmots. Natalie tried to sneak up on one.IMG_5023IMG_5118
We saw hummingbirds (especially by our cabin), a pretty bird called a Clark’s Nutcracker, and lots of chipmunks.IMG_5254IMG_5154IMG_5155IMG_5128
In addition to those pictured we also saw muskrats, rabbits, and baby ducks. It appeared that Louis’s favorite animal sighting was the domesticated dog.IMG_4972

  2. The lighting in some of these makes me look elderly. We will have to try taking pictures in the dark. db
