The soft glow of first light reveals the silhouette of a bison herd grazing in a foggy meadow. These magnificent beasts, which once roamed the plains of North America by the millions, are now represented by only a few thousand animals. Due to a mass slaughter in the late 19th century, bison were killed by the millions, mostly for their skins, and as a tactical move to decimate the main food source of Native Americans. The majority of wild buffalo live in and around Yellowstone National Park. Unbelievably, they are still being harassed and slaughtered over unfounded beliefs that they will spread disease to commercial animals.

American Bison (Bison bison) - Yellowstone National Park - Wyoming

I don't even know how to properly comment on something this extraordinary. I love bison and it was amazing seeing them at Yellowstone. But I never saw them against such a mindblowing backdrop. As powerful as it must feel to stand among them, I love the serenity the lighting gives here. Love the slight "sparkle" at the tips of the long grass. Outstanding work. Makes me want to go out West again!

"Unbelievably, they are still being harassed and slaughtered over unfounded beliefs that they will spread disease to commercial animals."
Oi, don't I know that! As a member of Defenders of Wildlife, there were plenty of newsletters mailed to me about how people wanted to kill these poor animals because of disease with no proof. I wish those people could see these photos and realize what a stupid idea it is to kill these beautiful animals :C
