counting elk Okay, everybody... get your mouses out. You know you didn't really want to watch that football game this weekend. (And no, we probably won't.) Last month we had the easy quiz. Now it's time for the real world test. My results of this elk count have already been forwarded on to the bosses (we flew Friday morning, I counted with my little red-dipped mouse most of the afternoon) and, if it follows the pattern of my Tuesday email, this tally will likely be in the Governor's inbox by Monday. Yeah. People want to know these numbers. Because these elk are walking amidst the bones of elk that died of lichen poisoning right here three years ago. So. How many elk do you see? A warning: watch out for elk-like rocks. And elk pretending to be rocks. And how do I know I didn't confuse elk with rocks in my tally? 'Cause this picture was taken on our fourth pass past this herd. When we were flying high enough to get them all in one frame. But after counting this image, I went through the shots from an earlier pass, when we were lower down, and counted the elk nicely spread out on three different frames. And got the exact same total. Always a good thing. |
