The bison at RMA are doing great and two calves have been born in the last week. Another is expected any day. I was fortunate to go into the enclosure today and make a few images. They were pretty tolerant, considering they had two newborns in the herd. The attached image shows a less-than-a-week-old calf nursing.

Another one of a large bull telling me with his tail to back off - which I did!

As always Dave, Fantastic Images!

Nice shots. That bull in the second image is pretty impressive.

Funny, I use my tail for the very same reason! Geez, those are great shots, all the more remarkable for where they were taken.

Nice Dave! That bull looks like he's got a bad hangover.

Very nice images, Dave. Must be quite a treat to be able to get that close in, especially with calves.
