Boreal Woodland Caribou (Rangifer tarandus ssp. caribou)Observer

These were confirmed at the time by British Columbia wildlife bios. Obviously a big deal at the time, as this would have been the only know mountain caribou in Montana at the time. Later that fall, there were two seen not far, north of the US/Canadian border. No new reports after that, that I am aware of.

I believe the upper of the two individuals in the first image might be a Labrador Sulphur. I am uncertain what the lower individual is. Perhaps Christina Sulphur? This spot on Mt Helena had at least 20 Sulphurs flitting about. I took a lot of pictures- but most show them in a closed wing posture.
