A Downy woodpecker worked some scrub willows near three Great-horned owls.
The Great-horned owls were always hiding from me, peeking out through all the branches.

It took me a while to find the elk, but after I worked as close as I could, I watched them until two bulls started fighting.
There were 47 bulls in the herd and they finally located me when the breeze changed and my smell got to them.
As I was leaving the elk, a Snowshoe hare flushed out of some sage.
On the way home, I captured this Golden eagle perched on the power pole looking for a hapless rodent along a desert road.
Whether it is sunny, cloudy or even stormy weather, you have to get out is the wilderness to enjoy the wilds - even in Idaho.

Fantastic shots! A good variety of birds and wildlife. I think rather than "even in Idaho", I'd say "especially in Idaho."
Hello, Hope you are having a wonderful December and will have a blessed Christmas… This is such a joyful time of year for so many—but it’s also the time when others experience a deep loneliness, and struggle during the holidays for many reasons. SO—today I ask you to stop what you are doing for a few minutes and say a prayer for someone you know who might be experiencing a hard time now… OR—better still, send them a card or give them a call. It will mean the world to them.
Wow---that Golden eagle is gorgeous. WOW... Glad you got fairly close to the elk... AND--that 'wabbit' is a 'biggin'... ha
Merry Christmas to you and yours.
Hugs,
Betsy
