Zion Critters

As we were climbing up Weeping Rock Trail we came across this pretty deer just resting in the brush. Even the noise of the hikers going up the trail didn't phase him. Even the noise from one jerk who kept yelling:   ECHO  ECHO ECHO.

There were actually 3 deer hiding in this thicket of brush along the trail but they weren't that easy to photograph but this one was looking straight at me

Here are two others, can you see them?


The deer were still resting when we came back down the trail

Look at what we found at the end of the tunnel when we pulled over to get out and look around

Aren't they wonderful to see?  This one looks like he coaxing the other one to follow him




This one was looking at us as if to say  "What are you looking at?"

Still hesitant to follow the other one, eventually he did and up the other side of the hill they went

Then, we looked down and saw this character digging away at something in the brush

TA DA, all of a sudden some of his friends came around the side of the big rock 
Then, a couple of these guys decided to have some sort of discussion upon which they didn't all agree and started butting heads together

They crossed the ditch and started up the rocky hillside

It appears that there were 2 against 1 here


They continued for a bit and then headed up the hil.l
It was sure a nice surprise to see some wildlife out here in the wilderness other than the 2 legged kind
