Some other animals came to the spring in late May, before it dried up.There was this red fox and two kits —the one at left is drinking.

Once when I was hunting up there a few years ago, I saw a black-and-white farm collie trotting purposefully down in the direction of that ranch.

I have always figured that to catch a mountain lion with the scout camera was a sort of Holy Grail. Now I will have to adjust my goal to a good image of a mountain lion — or else Holy Grail #2, which is a ringtail.

I had no idea a creature such as the ringtail exists in Colorado.
Nice catch, Chas, congrats! Darrell, I don't know about most of Colorado, but I've seen them up in Dinosaur National Monument, on the Utah border and almost in Wyoming, so they range pretty far and wide.
Darrell, to be honest, I have not seen a ringtail myself around here, but reliable friends have spotted them in Fremont and Custer counties. They are nocturnal and usually solitary.
Nice!
That was a good haul, Chas. The ringtail should show one of these days too. As for the Austrian flagrante footage, had Silvio Berlusconi been the subject, he would have considered it a worthy feat.
