After this trip my new favorite animal is the bison!! I completely fell in love with these giant lumbering creatures. We had many amazing opportunities to be in the company of, get way too close to, observe and photograph bison in both Yellowstone and Grand Teton. We were there during the rut and that was definitely something to witness. Side note: don't find yourself in the middle of two rutting bulls - bad, bad idea ... we are OK though :-)! We also saw and photographed Pronghorn, mule deer, elk, coyote, bald eagles and much more. It was nice to concentrate on wildlife photography ... something we haven't done in way too long!
Yellowstone Bison
Love the accessories :-)!
This bull knows another is near and he is beginning to posture for dominance.
He goes at it with his adversary! This was where we found ourselves just slightly in the way!
Reee-jected ... yes, he got a swift kick to the face for his advances ... poor guy :-(.
This coyote is hunting and he got a tasty little snack for his efforts :-).
This guy (Pronghorn) charged us ... or so it seemed. He ran straight at us and stopped about 10 feet shy of us. Ultimately it was another male over the ridge that got him so upset, but it definitely got our heart rates up :-)!
Grand Teton Bison
This is our car and this is how close they were to us ... pretty cool :-)!
