Sage hen Pictures - elk

Elk Season: Elk hunters are out. 2 elk were seen last week but they have left our area. A fellow brought up 3 horses and was elk hunting. This AM, ATV folks were asking where the elk are. They were abundant here 3 weeks ago but not now. They are bugling in a canyon 15 miles away, I am told. (I will head over there one of these days. I am looking forward to seeing some elk.



Here are pictures from the Sage Hen study done last week. By looking at the bird, it is an adult male - the wing being spread determined it is an adult.

We were looking for 3 Sage Grouse and we got 4. 3 were given radio collars and all four were banded.
