Last evening the Elk herd
came down from the timber...
Their spring calves
could not jump over the fence,

These images were taken through the

If you double click them, they will enlarge.
There is a Blue Heron sitting in a tree
along the river watching the elk graze...
There are 5 elk cows with their yearling calves
in the hay field...
and their new spring calves
on the other side of the fence.

The sun was setting quickly,

How cool is that!!! One bull calf in that group with some small antlers sprouting up! Have you ever found dropped antlers around the farm? Does your farmer ever hunt the elk?
ReplyDeleteIt is rare to find a shed antler. The cowboy quit hunting them about 20 years ago. We spend our time watching them from the back yard. It is such a treat when they finally bring out their babies, which is what happened last evening.
