I watched this event for approximately sixty minutes, before leaving the area. I returned later to find that the elk survived.

I think this was a Blue-headed?, probably can't be identified from tail and not even sure this is a vireo but if anyone's interested in an ID challenge here you go. will try to look this up myself later.
(throwing my remaining recordings for which I lost the detailed notes up, I'll try to ID them myself later)

First time I’ve seen them in Powderhorn Park. Drizzling conditions. Is the Tom shaking off water or courting? There was a second hen but she was moving too much.
It look like a hatchling

Spent the day in the Sax-Zim Bog in northern Minnesota yesterday and despite the frigid temps, we saw a lot of spectacular bog creatures! Although many people come for the owls, some come for mammals like this American Pine Marten. Because we had never caught more than a glimpse of one of these elusive little Mustelids before, we decided to dedicate some time waiting for one. "Some time" turned into several hours, which meant I didn't get a chance to look for my favorite tridactyl woodpeckers... Oh well, at least the Boreal Chickadees put on a show while we waited. Finally after hours of waiting, this adorably fierce little creature came bounding out of the woods to pay us a visit!
The real superstar of the bog...
This PB Grebe was making me laugh as this was all he would show of himself.
Two migrating birds, identified as males from the Wisconsin population that were hatched last year, showed up here a few days ago; the location wasn't supressed because the cranes are passing through and pretty safe from disturbance in this location.
still fully alive, was eaten by birds soon after though
