Elk Herd In The Early Morning ~ Central Oregon

First thing we seen last Saturday is this herd of Elk.

They were pretty close to our little town! They were laying down in this farmers field. But when they noticed someone giving them attention they started getting up and getting nervous.

The morning was very nasty weather wise. Snow was falling, it was foggy and I really did not want to see the elk running in this weather.

These all look like bulls. These elk we have here are very..... shy? Paranoid? In the field they had nothing to hide behind.

Leading The Way. We ran into a elk herd Saturday. The elk were being followed by this bird, which I think is one of the many eagles we had seen that day.

Elk Herd. We split the herd up, not meaning to it just happened!
There are so many more elk to the right and to the left of us!! If you can imagine they were pretty confused....
