What an absolutely fantastic morning yesterday in Rocky Mountain National Park on what was likely our last RV trip of the season. I thought sunrise was going to be the star of the show but then these three and a youthful male suitor arrived. Mom was not ready and certainly not willing to engage the male and kept the calves on the move. For a time, they hung out in the water with mama dining on some aquatic plants. The young bull kept pushing though and they eventually moved off into the forest trying to escape the harassment.
