Elk have been hanging around our neighborhood a lot. A couple days ago in the very early morning, I glanced out the window and saw a small herd of about six animals in the field across the way.
They were often blocked by trees so I couldn't see exactly what was going on, but it seemed the herd was trotting back and forth across the field quite a bit. It may have had something to do with our neighbor's horse. Horses generally don't like elk.
After a few minutes of this, the herd came up to the fence line by the road just below our property.
One by one, they jumped the fence onto the road.
This put them right at the base of our lower driveway, and they started walking up toward the barn.
Two of the cows were already up the driveway...
...when the rest of the herd noticed me taking photos, and became concerned.
The two elk near the barn jumped fences and trotted off, while the lower elk moved down the road and disappeared from sight.
Just another day on the homestead.
What an incredible sight to see from the comfort of your home! Thank you for sharing so many of these beautiful moments with us. KinCa
