Tiger trout? Do you have any pictures? I’m just curious what a Tiger trout looks like.

Tiger trout are a hybrid male brookie & female brown trout. They do not reproduce and are very aggressive, I think the state record is only 5 or 6 lbs taken on one of the lakes here on the Grand Mesa.

That's a truly unique and beautiful trout...thank you for sharing it with us!

Below is another "feline trout"...a leopard rainbow trout . When I caught my first one, I was impressed to discover that there were spots even in their eyes....

(a quick pic and then successfully released)

Hiking along an off-road lake shore the other day and saw something a bit different...

The waterline was much higher due to the heavy snow we got last winter. The image below gives a better underwater view.

Great Blue Heron, western Montana.
These birds feed mostly on fish in the summer, and voles in the pastures in the winter.
I learned there range is large: most of North and Central America,
as well as far northwestern South America, the Caribbean and the Galápagos Islands
My twin brother sometimes sees them eating snakes in Virginia. Neat birds.

They really are, and quite a predator! I've even watched one stalking a pair of small ducks... Photographed this one from my fishing kayak on the Columbia River, Washington.

Almost home on our flight back from the East Coast today. Honey, I don’t think we’re in Kansas anymore.
