Oh WOW Doug, that's just a fabulous shot. I've been attempting to get
a good photo of one for the past year and wow they are SOOOOO skittish
that even when I almost camp they don't get close enough for a shot
like this. On the other hand when I'm cycling I can ride within a few
feet of them alongside the road south of Davis.

It really helps me appreciate this image. It's splendid.
