Wildlife near my Home

I have been blessed to have open space near my home that is abundant with wildlife. This weekend I saw animals that I did not expect, bull elk and whitetail deer. We abundantly see mule deer here, but it was cool to see whitetail. As for the elk, periodically they come down from the mountains in the winter, but these guys seem to be here for the summer. They have beautiful velvet as their antlers are growing for the summer. I love this! I have also included a photo of a great blue heron.
