Buffalo Herd Babies

~ Buffalo herd with their new calves ~

The herd is very protective of their little ones and keep at a distance. When I first appeared with the camera, 6 adults immediately came forward to form a barrier between the herd and myself. When they saw I posed no threat, they slowly rejoined their herd mates.

The Yearling

These wonderful creatures live not more than a mile from our home. Within a few short weeks brand new light red fuzzy calves will be seen trotting by their mother's side, tussling in mock battles, or curled up for a baby slumber.
