+chubby forest monkey Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 Marmot sightings are rare on Mt Hood, but one had been spotted recently near McNeil Point, so I headed up there yesterday to see if I could find any. I roamed all around in the scree fields below the Glisan Glacier and had given up hopes for finding one, when I stopped to dump the rocks out of my boot and have a snack. After a few minutes of sitting still, this guy started whistling at me: Quote Link to comment
+rogerw3 Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 Came across this 5 feet Lace Monitor (Varanus varius) near Hornsby in Sydney, in one of the many parks in the metro area. I was looking for a couple caches and would have missed him if he had not moved, they are not aggressive but they do bite and the wound will get infected due to the large number of bacterias in their mouth.

+B+L Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 Hoary Marmot near Upper Melakwa Lake. This little guy was sleeping in the grass and I almost stepped on him before he woke up and ran off. He was very curious and did not go more than about 10 feet before he stopped to watch us. Another Hoary Marmot "whistling" near Upper Melakwa Lake. Quote Link to comment

+B+L Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 Coyote near Yamhill, OR. We also saw a bobcat and a black bear the same day, but they were a little too quick for us to get any photos. Quote Link to comment

+StephenTravels Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 Mountain goat at Alpine Lookout. Too close to fit into the frame. wow, great shot! Very clear and sharp...what kind of camera did you use for this? Quote Link to comment
+B+L Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 wow, great shot! Very clear and sharp...what kind of camera did you use for this? A Canon Rebel XTi with a Canon 70-300 USM zoom. The goat was only about 15 feet away and moving fast, so we were very lucky to get a decent shot. It could easily have turned out like this picture of a chipmunk that we took on the way up to the lookout: Quote Link to comment

+EFLFT Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 An pretty owl oversaw my geocaching hunting today, laughing at me as I kept walking past the cache several times without realizing it. I put a couple of additional pics in my log for the find. Quote Link to comment
+Dgwphotos Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 A Bobcat was recently sighted on Cougar Mountain at AA Peak by King County Parks staff, so if you go up there, keep an eye out. Quote Link to comment
+EraSeek Posted November 26, 2010 Author Share Posted November 26, 2010 I walked up behind a bobcat once on a trail, deep in the Olympic forest. I scared the heck out of him Quote Link to comment

Photo posted on Facebook I wouldn't mind actually seeing the cat. (I won't directly post the photo, because it's not mine.) Quote Link to comment

+StephenTravels Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 Here's a few shots I took of "the locals" at Lake Ingalls this summer. It was amazing how unafraid they were of us and sometimes got a bit too close for comfort. They practically followed us around everywhere the whole two days we were up there. Quote Link to comment
Love Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 After Geocoinfest EU, I went for an amazing hike in Switzerland. This muggle below had no interested in mooooving away from the cache site, so I decided to find it real quick while she was looking away. This muggle by another cache was just pretty...

Facebook link Now you've gone and insulted the L in B+L because she grew up in Elma. It's between Olympia and Aberdeen. I think the person telling that story lives in Elma, but it actually took place in Alaska (Taku Harbor). Thanks for sharing it. Quote Link to comment
