My hosts could confidently tick off the species on their life list. We got at least three sub-species but the highlight was a Wilson’s Snipe we flushed. We also saw Prairie Dogs , Bison , Mule Deer , Abert’s Squirrel and Coyote. We were happy enough for we were getting reasonable views. I ticked off 9 lifers.

Despite the eyesore that is this mine, the wildlife continues to thrive in this harsh environment. Here are a few of the birds we spotted last weekend.
