Photographed this guy on Trail Ridge this morning. Tried to get some with vegetation in the mouth, but they would not cooperate! Heard quite a few elk starting to bugle.

Nice image. I was up there yesterday and ran into a bunch of Big Horns. I was surprised to see the amount of bulls in the lower part of the park around the Beaver ponds.

As always, your wildlife shots are spot on.

That new lens is getting a good workout, and it looks like the investment paid off!. Really nice close-up of a Pika!.

Everything about this one is excellent...great bokeh and light, the pedestal it's on, sharpness and even a catch light in it's eye!
