Mountain Goat Kid Rainy Day

Oreamnos americanus

This was my first interaction with my favorite mountain goat herd. On this day it started raining lightly at 13000 feet elevation in the Rocky Mountains when I found them. Being so excited, I didn’t think to grab a jacket or something to cover my camera, and it was very cold. I spent about a half hour photographing this delightful herd of Mountain Goats. This young one seemed to be giving me a little attention when he turned and looked toward me, then continued grazing.
