| A Scissor-tailed Flycatcher keeps an eye on a bison and young one. |
The rangers warned us that the herd can get protective of the calves and to stay 50 yards from bison. These pics were shot from the car just inside the entrance to the park on an overcast day.
And don't make the mistake of calling them buffalo.
According to the brochure:
In America "bison" and "buffalo" are used to refer to the same animal. However scientifically speaking, there are no buffalo in North America. The only true buffalo are the African Cape Buffalo and Asian Water Buffalo.
I guess someone should have told West Texas State University, home of the buffaloes. I am part of the herd that graduated before the school became part of the A&M system. Go, Buffs!
