Elk Neighbors

 Poor O had an aborted walk on Tuesday because I saw the elk right off Twin Sister's road and had to run home to get the camera before I went to a meeting.

 They did something very interesting. Over half of them ran down the hill and back up again - twice. Looked like they were doing laps! I am wondering if the pregnant females were higher on the hill and they were trying to distract me from them.

Running down the hill,

and up hill.

The were as curious about me as I was about them. They actually allowed me to get quite close.

Here is a half spike. A spike is an adolescent male because their rack is only one finger. This fellow only has one spike now. Carrie and I were watching a couple sparing on Sunday and I wonder if he lost it playing around.

  The blend so well with the surroundings.

Are the ones on the left pregnant females?
