Notes from my journal https://inaturalist.ca/journal/larryhalverson/29063-muskrat
Counted 125 some spike bulls still with antlers.
They were "nervous" not sure if it was dogs in the area.
Had to smile as iNaturalist could not I’d this observation of a red squirrel flying through the air. In this case the jump was 7 horizontal feet. All fours spread out for the landing on a Douglas fir branch.
