Twin pronghorns born... right out the Gallery window!

Today, we watched twin pronghorns being born from the Gallery window! I happened to notice a pronghorn across the river lying down. Thought I'd take a closer look - and sure enough she gave birth to twin pronghorns. We watched them wobble for their first steps and try to nurse. That took a few tries! Within the hour, they were getting pretty steady on their feet. Incredible to think that in just 2 weeks, they will be able to outrun most predators. Spring in Yellowstone is a really wonderful season. I love seeing all the 'new arrivals'. And seeing them THAT new (and right out the Gallery window!) is particularly awesome. I love where we live!
