A beautiful day in the neighborhood.

 



 

All those tiny dark spots are lots and lots of cows.

Bison from Yellowstone

Out and about the other day and able to take a series of photos of a small herd of Bison at the North entrance to Yellowstone.  It's been a harsh Winter for the wildlife.  Over five hundred Bison have been slaughtered that left the safety of the Park in search of food.  The good news is that the Montana Supreme Court ruled yesterday that bison leaving the northern boundary will no longer be killed for leaving the Park in search of food.
