Two male elk just came through the yard. They both had fuzzy, half formed antlers.
They left behind a large, well formed pile of scat. This is different then in winter. At that time of the year they leave tight little oval pellets.
This is a blog about the happenings on the tail end of Lazy Z Rd, Nederland CO. Not that I expect to report on high drama. No, rather, I like watching the weather play across Thorodin Mountain. Want to see what I'm seeing out my window (worth a look). Live. Click here --> LazyZ.Org <--

Dogfight over Lazy Z
There's been a fierce battle ragging in the air over this end of Lazy Z for the last few days.
Its the red(baron) tailed hawk against the dark raven. They soar and dive. Sometimes, you can hear the screaming feathers of the raven as he goes into a power dive. The raven also makes crowing sounds, but the hawk only occasionally lets loose with a peep.
I think the hawk is winning, but not be much. They are pretty evenly matched.
Last year, the hawk must have won, because I saw and heard him all summer.
