I have been going out in the evenings trying to find owls to photograph. Barn Owls and Short-eared owls often fly at dusk this time of year. No luck with owls thus far but I did run into this nice little band of Pronghorn. They are my favorite animal. They look so exotic for the sagebrush steppe. Like something that would be more at home in Africa. Their huge eyes and unique colors make them a beautiful contrast on the drab winter landscape.




Beautiful photos. The way those white neck rings stand out against the tan is just stunning. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for stopping by and commenting. They are beautiful creatures.
Oh my gosh ❗️I have not seen one of those in fifty years 🙂
Oh, that is far too long.
🤩🤩🤩🙌🏼 what serene and graceful creatures
They really are. Sometimes they run alongside the truck racing it.
W🤩w!!
Beautiful framing.
Thank you!
They are stockier and more robust than gazelles and were definitely built for a colder climate. Still, they wouldn’t look out of place in an African landscape. 🙂
Good observations! They evolved alongside cheetahs. The cheetahs of North America died out of course and here the Pronghorn are the undisputed fastest animal on the continent. 🙂
Great pictures and a good consolation for the lack of owls.
Thank you. I thought so too. 🙂
Wow! They are stunning creatures. I love the color tones of your photographs.
Thank you! 🙂
Excellent pictures! I’m glad they stopped and posed long enough for you to capture them on film!
Thanks! Me too. 😊
What a majestic creature – Mother Nature is AMAZING!!
