While birding with the birder from Virginia, we found this nice herd of American Elk. All the cows in this "harem" belong to this bull who will guard them and fight off competitors during the
"rut." The elk were vocalizing and the bull had begun some bugling that we heard.
Besides the cows in the herd there are also the offspring of the cows including at least one young male with "spikes" (short antlers). The bottom pic of these young enlarges nicely so double-click on it for closer views (the others can be enlarged also but are not as crisp). SeEtta
