Elk, Turkeys, Pheasant, Three Bald Eagles, Deer and Buffalo!

three deer among many seen that day
this was interesting.....buffalo in someone's yard
en route to canyon
happiness is....
the wild elk come down in winter to feed

 
Caution:  A glimpse of the wild Rocky Mountain Elk, that is if you can mange looking at this video without getting dizzy!  Could not hold my arm steady for the life of me!

This was a couple of days before we left Utah and it was a perfect day.  First of all, spending it with James and Jayme was delightful!  We stopped for lunch in Logan and then went on through the canyon and the sights were incredible.  The river was high and running very rapidly.  The animals we saw were breath-taking.  Not once, not twice but three times....a bald eagle!  Wish I had been quicker with camera, but no pictures.  We drove to a ranch where the wild Rocky Mountain Elk had come down for feeding.  Our plan was a sleigh ride among the elk, but this particular day sleigh riding was closed.  It did not damper our spirits one bit.  The beauty of the region was too powerful!  The entire day is best described as a memorable experience.  We are blessed!
