This is Nilgiri Tahr (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nilgiri_tahr)
I had 70-400 on Camera when this group started showing up. The park
would have been closed in another week or so after my visit to facilitate
the breeding/birthing of these goats (?).

Great set of an interesting animal. Especially like the last one.

Thank you Pitter.

Very nice details of the animals there, Sury

Thank you Andy.

Sury

What lens was that? interesting animal.

lbug7575,
At the outset, welcome to the forum.
Regarding your question, that was Sony 70-400G (older lens).
I believe there is a 70-400G II available now.

With best regards,
Sury

There is something about goat eyes...

"The park would have been closed in another week or so after my visit to facilitate the breeding/birthing of these goats (?)."

I had to do a double take on this one as I was left to wonder how you might facilitate such an activity. My reading skills are less than stellar.

JB,
What I intended to convey was that I was able to visit the the park before the deadline
to shutdown the access to the park. In other words, I barely (no pun intended)
made it. I have not facilitated in any "other" way towards the breeding/birthing of these
goats. But you already know that.

Blame it on my language skills. My defense is I come from India and hence it is
not my first language.
Also, I blame the language itself. It is so ambiguous by definition. When I say you have
good sense of humor, one is not sure whether you laugh at my jokes or you tell good jokes.

Good one. Thanks for the chuckle.

With best regards,
Sury

I laugh at my own shortcomings only.
You are a gentleman indeed. That we can share a laugh in this way and at this distance is a luxury.
More goat eyes.

You are very kind, JB. Thank you.
Nice goat eyes. Where was this taken?

The Naval Academy used to operate a dairy farm in Gambrills, Maryland. It was established in 1911. It now operates as an organic farm. A friend of mine gave me a tour. Follow the link to some of the images I saved.

Thanks JB. Will do. By the way, the focus was set to local on the bird series, as I guessed it the first time.
