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.

We have several of these herons around this part of central Oregon.

I would of thought they would leave when the snow started falling, but this bird proved me wrong!

It was foggy, it was cold and it was snowing Sunday! But here this bird was!
