That Time of Year

Bison Calf. Canon 5D3, 500mm, beanbag, 1/400 @ f8, ISO 400

It’s April and that means it’s time for babies to start appearing in the meadows and forests. Among the first babies to start showing up are bison calves. This one was photographed a few years ago and in April a bison calf sighting is possible though still a bit rare. By May these little ones will be running and playing all over the place. Bison are certainly one of my favorite photo subjects but also one of my favorite wild animals and it’s such a privilege to see these incredible animals. They can be dangerous though, as can all wild animals, and even this little guy was photographed from my using a bean bag to support a long telephoto lens.
