Catching A Lift

So on our way to British Columbia we came across this elk on the side of the road. If you look close you can see a little bird catching a ride on the back of the elk

[Richard Hickey]

Awesome picture.

Great set of antlers. Terrific capture.

Wow. Magnificent, Brian.

[Gayle]

Wow! Fantastic capture, Brian! :-)

[Babs]

Great shot and a wise bird, why fly when you can hitch a lift.

[Robyn]

Isn't it nice to have a symbiotic relationship like that? Funny that such a big animal would let the little birds hang out.

[Valerie Chesney]

Love it, why fly when you can ride....

We have elk here too, and where I grew up at Yellowstone too, so often I barely notice them anymore, which is kind of sad. Thanks for reminding me how cool they are.
