<\/p>\nThe scenery has been fantastic and the weather gorgeous, with the exception of a little afternoon wind. My first night here it got down to 35 degrees, which was refreshing but I’m sure glad my furnace worked. Most birds I expected to see have been plentiful, except for the surprising scarcity of large raptors. And so far, no flat tires.<\/p>\n
I’m a little concerned about my back. All this sitting while driving has caused me to get repeated, nasty cramps in my legs. I had four of them yesterday and they definitely get your attention.<\/p>\n
But other than that, everything is going swimmingly. Here’s an example (if it posts correctly, it may not).<\/p>\n

Pronghorns are abundant in the valley and I found this doe and her young fawn right at sunrise yesterday morning as I was leaving camp. Mama watched me with an eagle eye to make sure I wasn’t a threat, but Junior was just curious about the world – looking almost everywhere but where I was.<\/p>\n
In addition to pronghorn I’ve been photographing a wide variety of birds, including Trumpeter Swans (also with babies). It’s been a productive trip so far.<\/p>\n
