Random Thoughts

Last night at 2 am I was awakened by a noise outside. On the front lawn of our cabin were 20 elk eating the grass. There was one beautiful 4 point bull elk and the rest were cows and calves. It was fun to watch them feed and then bed down, right there on the front lawn. They were gone by morning.

Also last night I watched six or seven muskrats and at least one beaver work up and down the stream that runs in front our place. Busy as a beaver is sure appropriate for these little animals.

This morning a lone bald eagle soared overhead, 4 mallard ducks circled the cabin a couple of times, and 16 small mule deer, all does and fawns, paraded in a straight line in front of our cabin.

Winter is a fun time to watch these animals as they scurry about. They must know that spring is approaching. They seemed unusually busy.
