this is a subadult. as suggested by Shear & Warfel, immature T. ubicki are "confusing", can appear similar to Oskoron spinosus in having spiny chelicerae, spiny ocularium, curved spines on abdomen.

this animal is too large (> 5mm, not including chelicerae) for an Oskoron, thus Taracus

This marten was likely up at 10,900ft/3300m to hunt pikas, but when I stumbled along it became very curious about me. I was able to snap photos for about 8 minutes, then moved on to photograph the flock of rosy finches that was half dosing off while observing the marten. I wasn't able to observe any predation, but may have heard a couple distant screams.

This wayward young crane bonded with us and us with her. She followed us on island surveys, and if we started digging around in vegetation, she would come "forage" with us and eat stirred up beetles. She also ate lots of mice during her stay. Our friend eventually departed the island.

I was walking westbound on High Marsh Trail, almost where it crosses the West Fork Swede George Creek. I first heard loud rustling, below by the creek dry bed. I couldn't figure out what that could be so I took out my phone, then the bear came out from under some branches by the creek bed. I took a few pictures and a short video. The bear walked a few feet where I could see it, then it turned around and went back under the branches. It didn't seem to care I was there, even though I was chanting some mantras (I'm a Buddhist). The pictures are not great, we just see its backside but on the video one can see clearly it's a bear.
