The distinctive call of the bull elk—known as a bugle—is a familiar sound each fall here in Colorado's Rocky Mountain National Park. Human visitors often describe the vocalizations as eerie and haunting, but if you're a cow elk, they're downright dreamy. Bugling is a key element of elk mating rituals, and every bull does it differently, weaving high-pitched whistles with throaty grunts to create compositions all their own. Bugles are complex and able to convey a variety of messages—but usually the gist is, 'Hey ladies, look at me!'
