Field Notes

Notes:

Clustered in a few small groups around a trail on top of Mt. Howard, in the Wallowa Mts. We thought it was odd that they didn't seem to have much cover, and were in a colder area.

Maybe they were having a lazy day...or enjoying the view? It really is great to see so many clustered together, though.
That was my guess, DM, but they only had to go down a bit and it would be much warmer.
Now that's what you call a cluster! Maybe they were emulating penguins and sticking together for warmth! :) Great shots!
