the buffalo nursery

 

We were fortunate today to see hundreds of buffalo with their cinnamon-colored calves, many newly-born.  It was a perfect day with blue skies, green grass and yellow sweet clover in bloom.  Nearly 1,300 bison, commonly called buffalo, roam the prairies and hills of Custer State Park, which they share with swift pronghorn, shy elk and curious burros.
