After visiting the temple, Anjana acceded to my request to drive through Lone Elk Park (more than that was not possible, given a 12-day-old baby in the car, and the cold weather), and it was a good drive…as we were able to see

ELK ,

(that one’s a calf, there were many, and I clicked a few!)

the endangered AMERICAN BISON , WHITE-TAILED DEER ....and one very cute squirrel! The Elk calves were, like all babies, very cute: We passed several Bison, in the age-old landscape: Doe-eyed describes the deer very well... I then got off at Forest Park, to see Charles and Sarah, the GREAT HORNED OWLS I watched both of them for a while, along with Mark, Brenda and others. The owls have, apparently, stashed some food in a hollow in this tree... Mark showed me a ceramic replica of an owl's egg:

I walked back in the dark, well satisfied with the day!
