User's notes

I recently sighted goats in this area, so went back again to intentionally search for them. Found three separate groups. The group pictured was approximately 12 mature goats with at least 5 kids. The kids were running and playing around together along a creek, when the nannys spotted me they were making a loud sneeze-like sound which seemed to be some kind of danger warning. The kids weren't in a hurry to leave and the others were waiting for them up the hill a little. The other groups sighted had 3 and 8 (no kids). I can add the other groups as sightings if there is any value in showing the locations.
