Out for a stroll on the snow with Mom

A capture from my trip to Glacier National Park back in June. There was still a good bit of snow on the ground in shady areas of Logan Pass when these two Mountain Goats came strolling through in the evening. They worked their way to an open patch of ground and quickly commenced eating voraciously.

This particular female is one that has been outfitted with a collar by state and federal biologists. Using GPS or VHF radio, the collars allow scientists to track the animal and better understand its movements and how they are affected by human presence in the busy national park.
