A change is coming to the Idaho high country. Spring, also known as mud season, is starting in the Bear Lake Valley and the surrounding high country. We have had a lot of snow and when it melts we put up with mud until the run-off subsides.
Just a few days ago the hills east of Montpelier still had snow, and I photographed this small herd of elk from our deck. Now most of the snow is gone and the elk have left for the back country.
A young moose in neighboring Star Valley, Wyoming was content to rest in willows near the Salt River and let us take pictures. Once in a while she nibbled a twig as we watched.
As the snow melts and bare ground appears, migrating sandhill cranes and Canada Geese look for food in fields where cattle are being fed. These were seen between Montpelier and Ovid, Idaho.
Photographers, grab a long lens and come to the Bear Lake Valley to look for wildlife!
