WINTERY SPRING

While fishing season seemed only moments away we were once again blasted with a few weeks of winter weather. Therefore this blog is dedicated to one of my favorite animals. The bison.



I went to Yellowstone in search of some spring bear photographs...but no such luck yet. Most of the roads are closed until the middle of next month....which once open will help in finding them. In the meantime here are a few bison shots. The first was obviously very close up. I was protected inside a barrier which consists of 4 wheels.




This second shot portrays the hardship these animals endure. WINTER in the park is not a nice creature and sometimes you can see the look of despair in bison's eyes.



This last image shows fresh tracks after a snow-storm passed through. The herd continues to move until they can find food. Temps here are incredibly cold for many months....and how they maintain the will to stay alive fascinates me. They truly are an amazing creature.
