A Cornucopia of Critters — Some Friendlier Than Others
We may possess the land, but we're certainly not the only ones who call the Rockn50 Ranch home.
From the wooded bottoms of Mule Creek to the open pastures and brush-covered hill, the ranch attracts an impressive assortment of wildlife. Some are beautiful, some are entertaining, some are downright troublesome, and a few are best admired from a respectable distance.
Our cameras have revealed a whole neighborhood of characters, many of whom seem considerably more comfortable here than we are.
Here are a few of the locals — invited or otherwise.
