Spot the elk calf!

June 5, 2026 • 8:15 am

Reader Matthew Hill sent some photos taken during his tagging of elk calves (Cervus canadensis), and one of them qualifies as a “spot the. . . ” photo.  Can you spot the elk calf, hiding from predators inconspicuously?  The reveal will be at 10:30 Chicago time, along with other photos from Matthew’s endeavor. His words are indented:

I’m currently involved in tagging elk calves in northern Wisconsin. I thought one of today’s tags might be a fun one for an I spy post. Not super difficult.  It’s a two-day-
old female.

Can you spot it?  You can tell us in the comments if you did, but please don’t say where it was. Again, reveal is at 10:30 a.m.  Click the photo to enlarge it.

  1. This one was fun. I started by asking myself “where would I put it?” (It wasn’t there, for what it’s worth.)

  2. Oof … even my patented continuous-zoom-in-and-out-and-scan method is no match for this one.

    … unless it’s my best guess, which I’m pretty sure is wrong…

    Or I need to see an optometrist 😁
