Wildlife Report

Spent two days in the Black Hills. Photographing wildlife as only Ms. Brenda can. Can't wait to get home to download what pictures I captured between dead batteries, full memory cards, corrupted data, and just pictures that I missed. Perhaps my favorite is one where I cut the head off of a prairie dog. The quintessential Ms. Brenda shot. The STP had his binoculars along and that was fun. Goober was using them to search the hills for elk. Occasionally he would claim to see one and then just be kidding. He became known as 'the boy who cried elk.' Also, he used them with out removing the lens caps. Claimed the elk were obviously using some kind of cloaking device. Must be, because we didn't see any elk.
Here then is a list of what we saw:
buffalo and baby buffalo
white tail deer and baby deer
mule deer
prairie dogs and baby prairie dogs
gobbling turkey and hens
blue birds
turkey vulture
pronghorn (antelope)
wild burros
and they were all in the wild!
Still haven't seen a big horn sheep, but tomorrow we go over the mountains again, so there is still hope. Maybe I will have pictures. (Maybe not).
