I was riding my bike over the weekend on the bike path through CU 's Research Park when I came upon a herd of goats . Grazing away in the brush along the creek , hooved and horned , with a dozen or so interested spectators of the human variety . I pulled up and talked to their herder , a weathered , friendly woman named Lou Colby . After we chatted a few minutes I asked her where her permanent base is .

Question: What caught the narrator 's attention in the wild ?
The presence of animals .
