Field Notes

Description:

The famed wild mountain goat that has lived for many years in Mount Rushmore National Park.

Habitat:

Mount Rushmore National Park, SD, USA

Notes:

The Park Ranger took us in a back section off the trail when he found out that I enjoyed photographing wildlife. The goat was recently injured by a wildcat (note the bandage around the neck), but was recovering nicely.
