The Birth of Twin Pronghorns

An absolutely amazing day! Not everyone gets to watch right out their windows as twin pronghorns (often called antelope) are born in Yellowstone National Park. WOW! As I weed through all the photos I took (there are A LOT!), I'll post more if I find some good ones. But it was such an incredible event, that I wanted to get a post up quickly. So here are a few of the highlights from the photos I took in the Gallery today....

Twins!


Within just hours after birth, the fawns are up and walking. Their coloring makes it very hard to spot them. If you look closely, you'll see both fawns trailing their mother in this photo.
