Aside from us and our dogs and cats, we have a surprisingly good collection of mammals hanging around the hood. All these pictures were taken in Gargoyle Gulch.

I can’t believe I took this shot: it’s too good. But the information attached to it says that I really did take this photo. The mouse can’t believe his ears.
