Roan Mountain Goats

Roan Mountain - they put out the goats on Roan Balds June 24. They are fenced in via a solar electric fence to work small portions of the bald at a time, mostly targeting the blackberry bushes. You can see the solar fence in the background. They have two dogs and human "sitters" watching over them. It's neat to see & they do a great job on stripping the blackberry bushes! Larger version posted for more detail.

Canon 5Dii, 24mm TS-E lens, f16, 1/640 sec, ISO 640

Great shot of the goats WIck. You caught them up high and not eating, which seems to be their normal pose. I was up there a few weeks ago and was wondering where they were.
