Exchanging glances with a large Bison bull near Slough Creek in Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming, in light rain.
an european bison bull strolls along the edges of Bialowieza NP forest in the search of food, north eastern poland.
The bull had clearly something romantic on his mind and led the cow away from the herd - unfortunately the paparazzi were already waiting for them.

3 Bison wet from the rain or possibly from a dip in Floating Island Lake, Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming
Yellowstone's Lamar Valley has large roaming bison (American buffolo) herds. There was a black wolf roaming nearby. Not sure if these bison were reacting. Standing behind a vehicle as they approached.

Up close and personal with an icy bison on a frigid Yellowstone morning. I must admit, that the wild look in his eye gave me pause for concern. What this hiker fears most, is a lonely buffalo.
Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming
For me, there are certain images and sounds that I immediately associate with a sensation. The cry of a Red-Tail hawk, or the howl of a wolf, the sheer wildness of it--will stop me in my tracks. It is a goose-bump moment. I feel it in my bones before it hits my brain; any thinking is bypassed by this visceral reaction. My human bubble has been pierced, and something primal and wild has breached my world. I hang on to the sound, hoping to hear it again. My heart feels lifted, all my senses heightened, time has stopped.
I was thrilled about the reintroduction of wolves to Yellowstone. I was in whole support of it. I donated funds. I had read Aldo Leopold and found like-minded eloquence in his words. After 28 years, the success of the Yellowstone wolves fills me with hope that all is not lost in the natural world—we can make a difference. So, while it was a long shot, I yearned to catch a glimpse of these most wild of creatures during our visit.
Our guide, Steve Gettle prepared me and kept my expectations realistic, wolves are reclusive. But he is a nature photographer body and soul, and wolves draw he and his fiancée, Nicole Sudduth to Yellowstone as well. Sure enough, on our second day they spotted them, a pack of five. They were quite far, too far to photograph, on a hill top feeding on a recent successful hunt. The faithful ravens at their side.
A herd of bison grazed below them, seemingly unconcerned about the fate of their unfortunate comrade. Perhaps the bison knew they were at their safest now, with the wolves sated, and no other predator bold enough to enter their territory. At any rate, they seemed to be feeling rather frisky, and it was great fun to see them so lively.
These young bulls were testing each other in a game of push. This was not a serious confrontation, but in late summer and fall it could get much more aggressive as the rut takes place.

Bison at Yellowstone National Park. I spotted this trio around dusk, and they were on the move, so I had my camera set at ISO 1600. If they had stayed still and posed for me I would have gone for different settings, but I'm glad I managed to get a shot to remember them by!

Bison can be so humorous. First he was flirting with a girl, then he plopped on the ground, wriggled around creating a cloud of dust, then hopped back up and wandered away.
I didn't realize the American bison has been designated our national mammal. On May 9, 2016, President Obama signed the National Bison Legacy Act into law, officially making the American bison the national mammal of the United States.
In prehistoric times, millions of bison roamed North America -- from the forests of Alaska and the grasslands of Mexico to Nevada’s Great Basin and the eastern Appalachian Mountains. But by the late 1800s, there were only a few hundred bison left in the United States after European settlers pushed west, reducing the animal’s habitat and hunting the bison to near extinction.
In 1883, Teddy Roosevelt traveled to the Dakota Territory to hunt bison. After spending a few years in the west, Roosevelt returned to New York with a new outlook on life. He paved the way for the conservation movement, and in 1905, formed the American Bison Society with William Hornaday to save the disappearing bison. Had it not been for a few private individuals working with tribes, states and the Interior Department, the bison would be extinct today.

This bison calf wanted to feed but the mom kept pushing the calf away! I think she just wanted to eat in peace for awhile! Finally she gave in and let the calf feed!!! This photo was taken in Yellowstone national park!
These two bison were going head to head in combat. After a few minutes, they turned from each other and started to forage on the grasses.
I spotted some backlit bison as the sun was setting on Antelope Island and decided to take a bunch of photos as the sun set behind the bison. The sky got better and better as the sun set and gave nice warm backlighting to the bison and grass. It was cold and you can even see this bison's breath.
Referred to as a Buffalo, but not really a buffalo, symbol of the American West. This herd was in Utah near Salt Lake City, Antelope Island.
I liked this perspective I was able to get of this feeding Bison at Antelope Island. These huge animals wander free on this island including right through the campgrounds as was the case with this one and a few others.
If you think I was close here at 123mm you are right but I was hiding behind my minivan (it was on the passenger side so I had to get out to get a decent shot.
This Fuji 100-400 lens continues to surprise me with how sharp it is. The hair detail here is very surprising. I took some shots of this same Bison with my Zeiss 50mm macro at its sharpest apertures and at this distance the zoom lens wins over a 50% crop of the macro lens. I was very surprised.
