I have been hiking a closed road area where I have seen elk cows and calves in years past. It is quite a steep, long hike which is good for me, but takes a while. For days now, I have been quietly walking through the woods looking for the new calves. I see plenty of birds and deer, but so far no elk.
Well, today, when I get down to the valley floor, and to my surprise I saw a group of about 14 cows, 7 calves, and maybe 5 young bulls. They were milling around in a grassy meadow and stayed long enough for me to get quite a few photos. I will post one today and add a slideshow later.
Click on the photo to see it in a new, larger window. It is worth it!

Excellent photo! I'm always impressed by the way that their gentle nature is evidenced by their facial expressions.
Thanks! Me too. When I post the slideshow, I will try to get the face of the "lead cow." She is intense. And will try to show some of the "young boys."
