Photo of tule elk calf. — Very Young Tule Elk Calf During the Rut

I photographed this young calf two days ago at Point Reyes. I am used to seeing calves this young in late April, May and early June, not September.

Hi, Jim. I was out there last weekend and also saw a cow with an unweened calf. Interesting.

  Hi John. Do you think it was the same calf?

Nope, definitely different. I’m pretty sure the one I saw wasn’t spotted. It stayed real close to mom, and mom kept a sharp eye on me. I was more concerned about upsetting her than I was about the bull.

  I do too Charlotte. That’s what I like most about the spring season.
