You never know what you see driving towards The Needles. One year it was a Bobcat and we had a long stare down contest. This year we turned around to watch migrating White Pelicans in Dugout Reservoir

Could be the same pelicans that we spotted while riding along the Bow river in the south end of Calgary this September. Who knows? We never see them on the river below our house in the NW side of the city, so they must like the slower water and more prairie-like environs at that end. Apparently they spend some time around here in spring and fall on their migration to and from nesting grounds further north in Alberta and Saskatchewan.

It’s been a big week for Desert Bighorn viewing in Nevada. They do a lot of eating all day and night.

The Rams walked right by the tent at 1am one night. Commotion on slick rock and I heard lots of steps right outside the tent.
Rick slept right through it, but he saw them eating shrubs right next to the tent at 10 pm, same evening. I slept through that event.
Supposedly they have figured out to bump some of the water faucets on the CG to get water, but we did not witness that.
Better photos will follow from Rick.

We also several times saw another group of younger males and ewes.
