Summer has finally arrived in Colorado's Rocky Mountains. I visited Mount Evans Wilderness today as ice is leaving Summit Lake, mountain bluebirds are nest-building, mountain goat kids play on the rocks, and alpine flowers carpet the alpine tundra. July is a great time of year in the Colorado high country!

Three bison calves have been born so far this spring - the first on Mother's Day. When I visited on June 12, I was happily surprised to see that two had been born over the last few days. The nursing calf in this picture is 2-3 days old in an expansive view of shortgrass prairie and Rocky Mountain backdrop.

Marla and I just returned from a winter trip to Yellowstone National Park. We stayed at Mammoth Hot Springs in the northeast corner and had a great time exploring between Mammoth and the Lamar Valley. Although we didn't see wolves up-close, wolf sign was everywhere and the "wolfers" - people who watch the Druid pack every day - graciously allowed us to view wolves through their spotting scopes. The park has received the most snow in ten years and winter is a remarkable time to visit!
