Last summer, we saw a golden eaglet perching on a nest in The Cedars, near our house. Will the parents be back this year? We're on the lookout.
While exploring for petroglyphs, Steve found another pair of eagle nests about a mile from the one that sheltered the eaglet of last summer. The higher nest looks ready for occupancy.
Oddly enough, we've seen petroglyphs near each set of eagle nests. Can you see the carrot marking the one high on a cliff? Don't ask me how a Native American got up there. I have no idea. Daisy is at the bottom of the cliff, possibly wondering how she might climb up.

Since the nests are in ideal locations, maybe the eagles have raised young there since the time the petroglyphs were carved, and perhaps the petroglyphs were marking the spots as special or sacred. It's interesting to speculate.
The above petroglyphs were not near a nest. Man chasing deer, with extra large human footprint? That's my best guess. What do you think? The figure above and to the left looks a little like a jackrabbit to me.
Some of the cliffs in the area look golden. Minerals (copper, iron, sulphur, or a combination) must be responsible.
Fungi draws its own colorful art on the rocks.
