WONDERFUL FACTS - The Wild Water Buffalo (Bubalus arnee) - also called Asian Buffalo, Asiatic Buffalo and Wild Asian Buffalo.
Is a large bovine native to the Indian Subcontinent and Southeast Asia.
It has been listed as Endangered in the IUCN Red List since 1986, as the remaining population totals less than 4,000.
A population decline of at least 50% over the last three generations (24–30 years) is projected to continue.
The global population has been estimated at 3,400 individuals, of which 3,100 (91%) live in India, mostly in Assam.

Sorry there aren't any Buffalo in America....:
"It’s easy to understand why people confuse bison and buffalo. Both are large, horned, oxlike animals of the Bovidae family. There are two kinds of bison, the American bison and the European bison, and two forms of buffalo, water buffalo and Cape buffalo. However, it’s not difficult to distinguish between them, especially if you focus on the three H’s: home, hump, and horns.
Contrary to the song “Home on the Range,” buffalo do not roam in the American West. Instead, they are indigenous to South Asia (water buffalo) and Africa (Cape buffalo), while bison are found in North America and parts of Europe. Despite being a misnomer—one often attributed to confused explorers—buffalo remains commonly used when referring to American bison, thus adding to the confusion.
Another major difference is the presence of a hump. Bison have one at the shoulders while buffalo don’t. The hump allows the bison’s head to function as a plow, sweeping away drifts of snow in the winter. The next telltale sign concerns the horns. Buffalo tend to have large horns—some have reached more than 6 feet (1.8 meters)—with very pronounced arcs. The horns of bison, however, are much shorter and sharper. And, if you want to throw a B into the mix, you can check for a beard. Bison are the hipsters of the two animals, sporting thick beards. Buffalo are beardless." Britannica.com

This airmail beacon had an acetylene powered flashing light that helped pilots keep on course. It was built in the mid-1920's and operated until early 1930's.
The beacon is on the part of Buffalo Valley called "alkali lake" (USGS 7.5' topo "Buffalo Springs NE"). Except for the missing light, it looks like it could still be used.

Fresh off of overnight rain, and several inches in the week prior, the scenery on Earl Drive just outside Dauphin PA is saturated as the Norry to Enola turn, H53, rumbles south along the Norfolk Southern Buffalo Line with a pair of ex-Conrail SD40-2 locomotives leading the charge.

Buffalo City Hall is a 32-story skyscraper completed in 1931. It is considered one of the finest and most significant examples of Art Deco architecture in the world.
Architecture and Design: Designed by Dietel, Wade, and Jones, the building is famous for its soaring verticality and intricate geometric details. Both the exterior and interior are adorned with mosaics, sculptures, and stained glass celebrating the city's history and industrial prowess.
Observation Deck: On the 28th floor, there is a free public observation deck that provides stunning 360-degree panoramic views of the city, Lake Erie, and, on clear days, the mist rising from Niagara Falls.
Symbolism: The design incorporates many Native American motifs and scenes of industrial labor, representing Buffalo's identity as the "City of Light."
Status: It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The building is so massive that it features over 1,500 windows, all uniquely designed to open inward for easier cleaning.

The Buffalo Savings Bank is a historic building in Buffalo, New York, USA. Constructed between 1899 and 1901, it is a prominent example of Beaux-Arts architecture. It was designed by architect Edward B. Green. The building served as the bank's headquarters until the 1970s, with its most notable feature being the gilded dome that crowns the structure. In 1976, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places. Due to its elegance and iconic dome, it is one of Buffalo's most recognizable landmarks. Today, it is known as the Goldome or Gold Dome Bank. In the late 20th century, the building was restored and repurposed for commercial and office use, adapting to new functions while retaining its original grandeur.
The Buffalo Fork River is a tributary of the Snake River and part of it forms a boundary of Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming. It has a reputation as a great place to fish, but the water is extremely low now. I liked the view of this huge s-curve and neighboring ranches.

The buffalo isn't as dangerous as everyone makes him out to be. Statistics prove that in the United States more Americans are killed in automobile accidents than are killed by buffalo.
