Notes
I was looking at the rock formations thinking "Man, this really looks like chuck habitat" when this big guy just ambled right over the top of the rock in front of me. He ended up chasing a much smaller, squater female into and through a crack (female unvouchered). While trying to get an angle on the pair in the crack, came upon a third individual (female) behind me.
