Wildlife Bingo

We have been keeping a list of the wildlife we have run into, especially large mammals. Suffice it to say that there multiple species of ground based chipmunks, squirrels, prairie dogs, marmots, and pikas a that have graced our picnic tables, boldly tried to steal our food, made lots of chattering noises, and yesterday ran up my pant leg (when I was wearing shorts! Hantavirus of the groin I can do without.) About the same for birds. Lots of western type jays and smaller birds around our campsites that we did not specifically add to our list.

1. Deer - Mule & Black
2. Rock Bass
3. Snapping Turtle
4. Dead Skunk in the middle of the road
5. White bird - pelican or ibis?
6. Wild horses
7. Bison - lots of places
8. Antelope
9. Prairie Dogs
10. Rabbit
11. Vultures
12. Bald Eagle
13. Lazuli Bunting
14. Black Bear
15. Mountain Goats
16. Heard Owls
17. Male Deer with big rack at Waterton
18. Partridge or Grouse
19. Weasel or Mink
20. Rocky Mountain Sheep
21. Rainbow Trout
22. Cutthroat Trout
23. Brook Trout
24. Canadian Magpie
25. Great Blue Heron
26. Wolf
28. Elk galore
29. Trumpeter Swan

This list may geta few more additions but we think a grizzly bear. di pretty well. I do not think we can claim a full card bingo. Two animals that did not show up to the party were a moose (they are pretty solitary) and a grizzly bear.
