Yakima Elk Heard at Oak Creek Winter Feeding Area.
Photographing a heard of 1,300+ elk can be a daunting challenge... how to single out the best animal portraits, capture the mood, etc. Not to mention this isn't exactly the preferable ambiance, that is elk that are fed out of a truck daily. But, it was thrilling to see such a huge varitey of wild elk interacting with each other, moving about, and at three different times stampeding as a whole heard! All in all, it was a fun and exciting day and I hope you enjoy these images of the Yakima Elk Heard!
