New Bison Photos

 The bison are back in the field opposite our driveway & in the late afternoon  they aim for the shade close to the road.  When I go to get the mail I stop & watch them for a  few minutes.

 I took a few videos and put them on YouTube--here's a link Mohawk Bison

 They are a little skittish--when I got too close to the fence they galloped away!  Most of the photos  were taken & then cropped.

Baby Bison

On Saturday, after spending the morning doing yard work, we decided to go out for lunch.  Driving by our neighbors, we saw Peter  & Theresa watching one of the bison through binoculars.  So we stopped to see what was happening.  One of the bison was in labor & could have the calf within the next few hours.  They had 14 pregnant bison--& 7 had been born up to Sat.( over the past 3 weeks)

  After lunch  I went & got my camera & telephoto lens.The ones you see in the 1st few photos are no more than 3 weeks old.   The mothers are very protective& they stay far away from the fence where we were.  Most of these photos were taken & then cropped.

Just sleeping.....

Loved this next shot--wish I had had a video camera....is the baby saying can I come too , Mom?  Wait, I can't keep up!

A touching moment between Mom & baby...

And the newest addition, up & on it's ( I don't know if it's male or female) feet & taking nourishment.
