Nice work on this one Eivor. Can’t wait for June to get back up there. How do you like that 70-300? I have the same one (VR) and it’s the best lens for the top of Mt. Evans. I used my 200-400 once and didn’t have the mobility that the 70-300 provides. And the animals are so close that I didn’t need it!
Eivor Kuchta replied
Thank you, Gary! I just love my 70-300! It’s perfect, as you say, for the animals that are closer, like this one, and the foxes. BTW, I haven’t been to the fox park in a long time, have you?

Beautiful…looks like there is some polar bear in his/her ancestry :)
Eivor Kuchta replied
Thank you! It can be pretty cold up there, even in June, when I took this one, so a “polar bear coat” doesn’t hurt.

Nice goat – he looks familiar
I may head to the fox hole on Saturday

Thank you, Jay! How were things at the fox hole? I had just survived a sleepover party for my younger teenager, ;-).
Eivor Kuchta replied
Sorry Jay, I misread. I thought you said you had been to the fox hole. Maybe I should try and go there, too.
