First herd One of the first pronghorn herds to move north at the start of the 2017 spring migration, Thursday, April 13th. Photo by the Trappers Point Wildlife Overpass webcam.

The antelope have started to move north up the Green River Valley beginning this week. Reports are that they can only get about as far north as 40 Rod Road due to deep snow further north into the Kendall Valley, but things have dried out in the Pinedale area and grass is starting to green up. Big and small herds are moving up over and across the Trappers Point Wildlife Overpass which gives them safe passage over highway US 191 between Pinedale and Daniel. Many hundreds of pronghorn have crossed over already in the past several days. Typically the herds are moving through very quickly, and can go from horizon to horizon in the webcam view from south to north in under ten minutes.

The best way to watch the migration is to view from the live webcam, so as not to disturb the animals. The camera is set to patrol pre-programmed viewpoints about every three minutes. Sometimes camera administrators may also move the view in real time to follow some of the herd movements.

(Shameless plug: We welcome advertising sponsors to help us pay to maintain the operation of this webcam so wildlife biologists have access to the recorded video and photos of the herd movements across the overpass for research purposes.
