We’ve been told it’s Baby Elk season. . .
We know it’s true, because of the report of a lady
getting between a momma elk and her baby. . .not good. . .
but we haven’t seen any babies yet. . .
so we decided to go searching. . .
The best place to look is the Lake Estes Golf Course. . .there are always tons of elk hanging out there. . .
We saw a few expectant Moms. . .but still no babies. . .
This expectant Mom has a body guard. . .we know this is so, because we saw this pair earlier patrolling the sandbar in the lake. . .
anytime this kayaker would get too close. . .the younger elk would squeal, and move towards him. . .you could tell she was on high alert. . .I’m not sure if this qualifies as harassing the elk. . .but it most be awful close.
We also saw this bald eagle. . .but he was kinda far away. . .we’ll hafta go back and get a better shot.
of course the majestic Rocky Mountains are always worth a moment of awe. . .I just love them!
We have lots more exploring to do. . .so stay tuned!

DeleteYou are in a beautiful part of the world. and it sounds like you enjoying life there. We are in Montana and enjoying our summer here.
ReplyDeleteWhat part of Montana? We spent Summer 2009 working at a gift shop in West Yellowstone. . .loved every minute there also. . .explored every inch of Yellowstone, and Grand Tetons. . .
DeleteWe are in Missoula at the KOA campground, my wofe loves it, she is close to lots of shopping. Lots to see here that is fairly close.
DeleteWe had previously spent 4 summers in Polson, on Flathead Lake. Close to Glacier National Park.
DeleteSometimes shopping therapy is a necessity. . .the closest good shopping to Estes Park is about an hours drive through the Big Thompson Canyon to Loveland. . .we are headed there today. . .and then on to Cheyenne WY to get a pic of the State Capitol Building to add to our collection.
DeleteThe previous owner of our RV Hauler has land in Polson MT. . .we are invited to stay there when we make it to Glacier. . .someday!
