Hi Alistair,

Peterson guides, from my poor recall, a near gold standard guide.
The guy was prodigious in producing books..

My current guide is: James C. Halfpenny� at a near halfpenny cost of $10 at Waterton Lakes National Park.
"Scats and Tracks of the Rocky Mountains". 2001, The Global Pequot Press.

I was observing a ton of scat on the trails I was riding my Mt Bike (carried on my Westy, RVC)
Bought a guide and identified the scat as Grouse.. Usually one runs over Grouse when riding grassy trails.
This trip I was not observing any grouse, nor their sounds.. just their scat. Sure was big scat for a medium
sized bird� 

BOT.. LED lights? I'm an over 60's guy. LED's, even expensive ones, lack the wave length to allow comfortable reading at night. For mood lighting, wonderful but I cannot read bye them.. Even my retina burning LED head-lamp, fails to provide the balanced wave lengths of white light that an incandescent or halogen bulb produces�
My reading lights remain HALOGEN!

Happy scat or eschatological hunting� :-)
