Wildlife

While jogging at Curt Gowdy State Park this morning I saw a Pronghorn (http://www.nwf.org/wildlife/wildlife-library/mammals/pronghorn.aspx) and white-tail deer in the space of a minute. There aren't too many places where one could see these two species in the same area. Pronghorn are a species native to range while white-tails are more often found in wooded and/or riparian habitat. Seeing these two species together is a result of the diversity of habitat at Curt Gowdy.

Check out the link above if you're not familiar with Pronghorn; they are an interesting species which tourists often incorrectly refer to as antelope.
