When I was a student and I heard professionals talk about how rewarding it was to see folks they mentored succeed

I kind of thought they were over hyping it

nope, they were not, its WONDERFUL to see folks taking their next steps and doing well

seriously, so wonderful, not over hyped

I love this shot but I do wish it was during the daytime!🧪

Return of the red squirrels! There are at least 3 in my trees today. One has a white-tipped tail; haven't managed to get a pic yet, but will keep trying!

Suck it, invasive fox squirrels!

Recent hike to look for elk migration routes with one of my game wardens.

How do you manage an elk herd that's here for hunting season but migrates to Idaho for counting season? That is the question...

Yard volunteers. Dogwood (I think?) and fireweed.

Trying to figure out how to keep the dogwood without the neighborhood deer destroying it... So far I just keep spraying it with deer repellent which isn't totally working.

Might be the last (relatively) nice day for a long bike ride...

Even smoky, the Bitterroots are beautiful. As long as you can see them.

I am waiting for 4-5 people to call me back about various issues. Does no one work on Mondays anymore?

So what do you call this? Not a "tweet"? A "post"? A "Bskype"?

Whatever, obviously my first one shall be my dog happily enjoying a (slow) car ride on a dusty dirt forest road.
