Roosevelt Elk
If we were lucky we could find this bull and his harem, not very often though.
On the run.
But running right to us, why I have no idea, the bear paused looked in our direction as if to say "hey it's you" and ran up to us. I had to conivince it to go away as I have said in the past I hate to hurt their feelings however habitualizing them is a very bad idea.
Getting Down
Sounds like I'm going to break into a 70's song, lol.

Vancouver Island Pygmy Owl
This past fall friend and I were on a Sunday morning mission to find Pygmy Owls. We were driving down the road during the first 10 minutes or less of our search and the sun shone on this gorgeous little Owl by the side of the road. Your kidding us really ? No bush whacking, no searching for hours just drive down the road pull over and start shooting. So now what? We thought let's go find more Owls ... nope not a one. We could have turned around and driven home but it was more fun to stay out search I do believe we found a few good birding spots for future outings.
