    Default Now we are in Nebraska

    Another road shot.

    Taken driving up to the parking lot at the Scottsbluff National Monument. Did you know that his was one of the very first national monuments ever created?

    But a magnificent beast, none-the-less!

    I'm guessing this would be classed as a tad to close ?

    Default Especially since the window looks open.

    Especially since the window looks open.

    Oooh. I have one of those two. I have to look for it.

    I couldn't find that one (yet) but I have always wondered what a "fishing buffalo" was?

    Default Momma Bison Giving Me the Stink Eye...

    Bison are big, and we humans are small, so they have a tendency to ignore us while they go about more important business, like, eating. We were in my Jeep at a place called Antelope Flats, off Mormon Row, in Grand Teton National Park. We drove out there while it was still full dark, and it wasn't until the sun came up that we realized we were surrounded by a herd of Bison that had literally appeared out there overnight. It was the first day of hunting season, and the old bulls were so smart, they knew exactly when and where to lead their herd into an area where they'd be protected.



    We were DEFINITELY too close to this Mama Bison's bouncing baby boy. She rather quickly moved to protect him, and gave us a glare best described as a Stink Eye. I took the hint, and backed slowly away.



    Buffalo sunrise! This is the shot I was hoping to capture that morning. Mission accomplished!

    Default National Bison Range -- but great stink

    Great pics.

    That "Stink eye" photo is like the one I was looking for -- it is actually on this post from the National Bison Range near Dixon, Montana.

    Default Males attempting to buffalo others happens amongst all species

    Speaking of "young bulls" these two are trying to buffalo the other. The young female is bored of the entire nonsense.

    Default Transporting cattle in Mexico



    A random scene along the highway in Mexico--and a preview of what you'll see when I finally get around to completing the last segment of that Field Report on my Mexican Road Trip. It's largely complete, but I had to set it aside for a bit, so it's taking a lot longer than I expected. There was a lot of cool stuff crammed into that last week of the trip. I'll do my best to make the write-up worth the wait!
