I made a run over to my unit to check on current snow levels and hopefully get a little glassing in. I was hopeful that I'd be able to spot a goat or two from a long ways off, but was pleasantly surprised with being able to find a bunch in various parts of the unit. Other than what I think is one young lone billy, everything was nanny/kid groups.
There's still a fair amount of snow on the crest, so I don't expect all these goats to still be this low when I get back over there in a couple weeks.
What a fascinating animal to watch. I think a Nanny has got to have it as rough as anything when it comes to parenting. These kids are nonstop energy, and not bashful at all when it comes to headbutting, kicking, or climbing on the nanny's head while she's trying to sleep.
This is the one that I think is a young billy (somebody call b.s. on me if they think it's a nanny), and the same one in the bedded pictures. The black blob just to the right of him is what I'm pretty sure is the entrance of a tunnel. He got down on his knees and crawled in to it, and popped out about fifty yards away on the other side of a cliff a couple minutes later.
