A Ewe and an Elk

 

This Ewe spent all afternoon pushing away the snow to get to the dirt and minerals.

 

She's the one that broke off her horn last year. 

 



 

Hmmm...crowd coming, never seen elk and sheep together.

 

One is curious.

Don't turn around and she'll go away.



 

Well, maybe not.

 

 

She is bigger.

 

 

And now she's yelling at you.

 

The ewe was brave and came back and the elk came from a different direction.

 

Try ignoring her.

 

The elk circled her.

 

 

And ran her off.

 

What a look!

 

After the cow elk left, two little ones were fighting over the spot.

 

I spent hours watching them from the living room window, my first for witnessing the interaction between the Big Horn Sheep and Elk.

 

I watched one lone elk following far behind the herd, making her way as best she could with a broken leg.  Such struggles they endure.

 

Study nature, love nature, stay close to nature, it will never fail you.
