Now that we have snow…and enough that remnants from porch roof, sidewalk and driveway have created mounds here and there, Karl takes up position in a strategic spot that affords him the best view of his territory.

There is a herd of elk that stay in the area during the winter months as well as deer. Occassionally we see a coyote and even more rare are mountain lion tracks. Where the food is the predators will follow but primarily it is deer and elk that cross the property.

But all must be kept at a distance so the alarm sounds now and again.

There, that should do it!

Keeping the peace.
