Thanks for all the nice comments! This was a first for me too and probably a once in a lifetime. First I saw a single male about 10 yds away. Maybe there is a shortage of females! Andre, maybe she had a much deserved Thanksgiving feast!

Great series! Welcome to Project Noah, Mary

Aw...which lucky fella will get his head ripped off?
