First light along the Green River on Seedskadee National #WildlifeRefuge

From U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Mountain-Prairie Region:

First light along the Green River on Seedskadee National #WildlifeRefuge. That brief period when it is light enough to see, but before the sun peeks above the horizon, can often be when wildlife are the most visible. They have been out feeding during the night and have not yet settled in for the day. Here a mule deer doe stops for a drink before heading to her day bed. A raccoon can still be seen looking for crayfish or some other creature to eat by flipping over rocks, before slipping off for the day to sleep in a hollowed out cottonwood stump.
