This grouse was standing lookout for its nearby chicks who were hidden away in an endless field of flowers. Even with the vivid colors she blended in quite well, and while the chicks were heard they were never seen.
Wildhorse island outside of Glacier National Park is home to an impressive herd of bighorn sheep. This island is in a valley protecting the herd from both predators and the extreme temperatures of the mountains making it an ideal place for them to grow and flourish.
I watched this mountain goat descend off a nearby cliff and into the valley through the wildflowers. Their ability to scale impossibly steep cliffs is impressive and awe inspiring.
