Baby Elk


 Jim and Zella came upon this newborn elk  on a hike.  They are born either at the end of May or the first couple of weeks in June.  Moms are very protective and little ones often stay hidden, so they can be hard to get a glimpse of.  I think they felt a little safer way back in a mountain meadow, so they were out and about.  Once mom was aware of Jim and Zella she began bugling to her calf.
Another little one that Jim and Zella came upon a mile and a half later.
