These are the same Pronghorn bucks featured in yesterday's post. They alternated between grazing and sparring for about five minutes, sending subtle (for me) but clear (to them) signals when one wanted to resume. And a second or two later they'd be squaring off again, nose to nose. It was immensely entertaining and exciting to view at close range in good light.
I am ending my "Half A Day In the Life" image set here. There were other wildlife encounters as I completed a long loop to get home without backtracking, but the light had started to flatten out by then, and nothing could come close to matching the show these two bad boys put on. Thanks to everyone for being good passengers in this virtual tour and not scaring the critters away!
