Goats and Glaciers

Not sure if you have ever tried wildlife photography. It requires an exponentially larger amount of patience then you might expect. But its moments like this that make it all worthwhile. The last light of the day was just catching the new winter coats of some rocky mountain goats (Oreamnos americanus) as they cross the track descending down from snowbird pass. Winter was fast approaching the high alpine region and the mighty Robson glacier can be seen below in the distance. The mountain goats are not a member of the genus Capra that includes all other goats, rather they are a member of the antelope family, and should be more correctly referred to as a goat-antelope. Mt Robnson Provincial Park, British Columbia, Canada.
