Pronghorns in December - I.


 

That late afternoon leaving Antelope Island I noticed a herd of Pronghorns in the field, they weren't heading toward the mountains and that was good. They moved across the field, that was even better.  I started to walk toward Pronghorns and followed them until they headed for the mountains.







She is young, curious and pregnant.








The pregnant female Pronghorn and the male (buck).  

Why did they stop near these dry plants?  My guess is that in winter Pronghorns are eating everything what is available.














Conversation?...  First, I thought that they were going into fight.  I was wrong.  They just stared at each other for a few seconds and afterwards peacefully headed toward the herd.

Generally, life is good!

  3. Preciosas fotografías en las que la naturaleza se llena de detalles.
    Gracias por su preocupación, llevo ausente del blog algún tiempo debido a una importante intervención quirúrgica seguida por varias sesiones de quimioterapia. Todo este proceso me ha tenido muy alejado de la fotografía, cansado, sin fuerzas y sin inspiración. Ahora parece que comienzo a experimentar una lenta recuperación.
    Feliz Navidad y muchas gracias.

    Beautiful photographs in which nature is filled with details.
    Thank you for your concern, I have been absent from the blog for some time due to a major surgery followed by several chemotherapy sessions. All this process has kept me very far from photography, tired, without strength and without inspiration. Now it seems that I am beginning to experience a slow recovery.
    Merry Christmas and thank you very much.

  4. Buenos ejemplares has cazado con tu cámara. Les debe resultar duro encontrar alimentos en inviernos, ya que en esta dura estación escasean.

    Besos
