Since Fred moved into the Precipice a few years ago….

the tote road down there has become liberally decorated with rock sculptures.

The Precipice Valley is a fabulous place for birding.  The loud song of the northern water thrush is dominant.

And this year I saw a white-fronted goose for the first time.

I misses last year’s cattle drive, but have been to many in the past, and this was the first wet one.

The cows had been well fed throughout winter, but they need fresh grass to fatten up and they were ready for their summer feed areas.

As usual, there were almost more cowboys than cows.

 

There was also liberal help from atvs and dogs.

Rain put a stop to the usual music, but it didn’t prevent us having the traditional barbecue steaks!  Thanks Lee!
