Well the Flickers are back to dine on my Virginia creeper now as the cat was focused on this one through the window early this morning. Later I went to Estes Park to deliver some parts to a driller up there and then took the back roads home. I saw a herd of maybe a dozen cow elk and stopped to get a shot of the bull. It is rutting season so I just pulled along side of him and rolled the widow down for a picture. Ya don't really want a walk up to close them this time of year as they are slightly crazed with basically only one thing on there mind to breed with all he has around him, plus he did kind of give me that look of what do want?? and he had a rack those tips were at least ten feet in the sky. I went high up enough to see snow sticking to the ground for the first time this year and admired the fall colors and all. On the way home I went by this little farm pond near by it had some unexpected new visitors as I don't see many pelicans in it that often. They must be moving through on their way south?

Beautiful photos as always! Those pelicans must have needed a break on their migration. You guys always give me something to Google! Maybe they're heading to Texas.

Yeah I'm sure they're Texas bound. I live just east of the Rocky Mountain range and it's a north and south migratory bird route from all the way up from Canada to Central America for some bird species I believe?. They've been going up and down it for thousands of years.

That's a royal bull for sure.
