No Luck with the Night BUT

the animals shined this year. I will be summing up my nighttime adventures soon. I will say that it was nothing like Joshua Tree. After striking out in the Badlands we lucked into seeing deer in the daylight as we headed out in search of the burros. I was only able to get their little white tails though. The deer do move fast especially when someone has to change camera settings. (Yes, I had to do this.)

We did not find any burros that day which was good because we would not have been able to feed them, we had no carrots. As you know if you ain’t got the carrots they ain’t got the time. We did have to do some errands and stuff so we grabbed lunch and then headed around Wildlife loop. We thought maybe today might be a bust until we came upon the most reliable animal in the park the buffalo. This year it has been funny they have been turning up in so many places you would not expect. It’s good because it keeps me on the look out. We saw them just hanging out near the road and hurrying across it when they did cross. So, there was not an endless buffalo jam. I think they were on a mission.

We ended the day with a look at a few of the young pronghorns that hangout near the start to Wildlife loop. We saw one set of the twins.
