Animals we came across today

Some in the most unexpected places
A deer in downtown (well almost) Banff.
A crossing to help animals migrate across Highway One. They build them every few miles and fence the roads on both sides with deer fence about nine feet high.
A crow at the top of one of the Hoodoos, formations made by wind and water erosion. Finally, an animal where it should be. Carl was the one out of place taking this picture. At the end of the designated trail there were steps leading to nowhere. So he took it and found a less traveled trail leading down to the Hoodoos.
Three of the five Bighorn Sheep we saw going well under the posted 40 km on the road we were traveling. What were they doing on a road? We thought they lived on the cliffs and scaled the mountain tops. Go figure!
An elk (or Caribou ) about 20 yards off the highway.
