It won't be long before we see bull elk marching through the wild flower meadows of Yellowstone. In early June, the elk cows will begin to drop their babies. Watching those little calves trying to run around when their legs aren't quite strong enough to do it, is always great fun. The cows usually keep the calves pretty well hidden for the first three weeks, but a couple of years ago a cow and her calf were hanging out just across the Madison River, so we got to watch them quite frequently. I'm hoping we'll get to experience that again this year. It won't be long before it's time for the babies of Yellowstone to start appearing. What fun!
