The Elk near our home

A buck jumping over the fence between public space and private farm land (our neighbors).

We got a lot of snow and as the day turned to night it was pretty cold... but we were excited to see the Elk!

One of the bucks (there were at least 12) leading the does along.

The large herd all clustered together for warmth.

John, Truen, and I went to see the Elk last night. John has seen them while riding his bike home from work. There is a herd of over 100 Elk currently in the area, it is amazing to see them and hear them bugle! What beautiful (and very large) creatures. We have about a foot and a half of snow!
