Steward Shadowing 120817

A young lady requested a "shadowing" session forFriday Night, out at ASCCA. New trail stewards need to go through oreintation and then a shadowing session or two before they can schedule their own patrols.  It was a hot night about 26-28C which is not condusive to seeing any wildlife at all. We spotted a Northern Harrier from the parking lot, but didn't get a shot worth posting. A little later on the walk I did manage to grab a quick shot of our second NH.
As expected the wildlife was thin, we saw one mule deer doe, and at 7:45 p.m. we spotted a herd of elk entering the adjacent field, about a mile away.
It wasn't until just now that I noticed the large bull just right of center in the shot.
When there are no critters there are aways floweres and such.
We did manage to catch a rather nice sunset just before finising up.
It was a great first outing for the young lady:) 
Hoping to get out tomorrow for an owl prowl:)
