Ron Bolander was driving on Highway One near Westport (north of Fort Bragg) when he saw this huge Roosevelt Elk.

There were three more resting and grazing in the grasses, all males.

So far we haven't seen any females...yet! It seems like they are extending their territory southward, an exciting development.

Thanks to Ron for allowing me to share his photos with you here. Ron has a showing of his nature photography at the White Cap in Anchor Bay. The opening is Sunday, July 1st, 3 to 5 pm.
