Nikon D300 Salad | Bison Snow More snow; we need more snow for the Bisons. Actually, the deep snow makes it much more difficult for the Bison to get to the underlying grass. Bison are year round grazers requiring water every day. They eat primarily grasses, but will also eat flowering plants, lichens, and woody plant leaves. In the winter, they sweep their heads from side to side to clear the snow. For more information and images, go to American Bison | a 7 Image Story.
The Back Story This image come from a simple click captured using my vehicle for a blind and tripod. The vehicle also provides protection from the Bison. Note: I post an image everyday at hankconrad.com.
