Bison - a new calf and a river swim

We saw our ‘first calf of the year’ yesterday evening - walking right by the Gallery! John was in the yard working away, oblivious to it all. When he finally looked up, he said the cow and calf were about 4 feet away from him. He headed inside – quickly – to tell us the big news. Luckily, I snapped a photo before they left the yard.

We were still excited by our new calf sighting, when we looked out the back windows and saw two bison bulls walking down to the river. We watched them swim across to our back yard.

If you follow the bison controversy around Yellowstone, you’ll know it was good to see them first thing this morning swimming back to the Yellowstone National Park side of the river.
