Great idea Marc! I like your contributions so far. That pic of the grouse is quite cute with its inquisitive look.
I'll have to add some later once I get up the nerve to go through my discs.

Short tailed weasel, and/or ermine (same thing different season? I don't know my mustelids too well)
Not actually a laser clear shot of a marmot but I like it because this guy was just waiting for us to start climbing so he could sneak out of his chimney and start chewing on our sweaty packs.

Apparently this goat free solos harder rock climbs than I can. Needle Peak. |

| I have also seen piles of bear shit on inaccessible-seeming ledges on the 4th Class Northeast ridge of Needle Peak, several times. I guess the goats have to climb this well to outclimb the bears. |

This big fella caught me lunching on the Vedder River in July... no zoom... it was 18" away from me...
Then his missus showed up and 3 kits... one of which ran over my boot, like I wasn't there...
