March 16, 2010, CJ and I were hiking along the river, south of the Taos Junction Bridge, when we came first upon some medium size paw prints in the snow. They looked fresh. It took only another 15 minutes of hiking before we found out who made the tracks.

Watching us, it displayed very little concern.

We watched as it stalked, pounced and ate what appeared to be a field mouse or something similar.

Couple of more photos from the hike. The first is an inscription or graffiti or what some call, a modern day petroglyph. Now the second photo brings with it controversy. There are those who say “nope, modern graffiti” and there are those who say “yep,  Rio Grande Style – 1300 to 1650 AD”. What do you think?

Just what was this guy doing hear?

Personally, I like to think of as the "real McCoy"
