Rocky Mountain National Park - Day 3

On the third day of our trip, we focused on some panoramic images, as well as getting photos of some birds and small animals.
The weather was good overall, and the birds - especially the stellar jays - were very cooperative. We spent about two hours - and took 200 photos - of a group of jays in an aspen tree. We also spent some time taking photos of a golden mantled ground squirrels. A couple of the pictures are below, including a closeup of an angry squirrel that was disappointed that we were not going to provide a handout.
We are currently in the middle of our fourth day of the trip, and we finally have had some luck with the elk. At two locations this morning, we were able to capture photos and high definition video of bull elk and their harems. We haven't had a chance to review the video yet, but Jennifer had an up-close experience with a bull that was busy fending off some younger, smaller bulls.
We also were able to travel Trail Ridge Road today and took plenty of photos and video of the scenery.
We are a little backlogged with downloading images, so it may be a few days before photos from Day 4 and Day 5 are available.
This evening we are preparing to take some waterfall photos and some photos of historic buildings in the park before moving into the valley to look for elk.
By the way, if you are having trouble viewing the images in the e-mail blog report, visit our website at www.eagleeyeimgaing.net and click on "blog" to see the photos.
