If you would like to join in on the fun, go over to Misty's Blog and join.For my first post I am using the Bison,Or Buffalo, which ever you prefer to call them.This was taken at the National Bison Range in Montana on our way to Glacier National Park.
The National Bison Range was established with the first Congressional appropriations ever made for the purchase of lands for a national wildlife refuge. The original herd of bison, released in 1909, was purchased with private money from the American Bison Society; the herd was then donated to the Range. The National Bison Range helped bring the bison back from the edge of extinction. Today, 350 to 500 bison call the Range home.

How nice ! I have once seen some bisons when we travelled through Montana, they are quite impressive beasts !
Lovely shot - thanks for sharing... and th story behind it!
Hi Lilli
I like your picture, it feels like going back in time, I think I join "Camera Critters" this time, by coincidence I have a nice picture to join
Oh, this is wonderful! Neat shots!!
Good photo's of those huge animals.
Nice shots of the bison! There is something about brown grass that calls to me. I love the first photo of all the bison. Looks like you got fairly close to them.
Fantastic Critters...
I enjoy reading the information about these beauties very much..

That would be an awesome site. I've never seen bison in person, just on tv. Great shots.
It has been so long since I have seen Bison. I saw them about 10 years ago in the Okanagan game Farm before that was taken out of operation in Penticton so this is neat seeing these photos... very nice post!!
Wow this is very impressive. I've seen Bisons in the zoo once, but I'm sure you can't compare this to wildlife ones.
Thanks for sharing.
My CC is up, too. Please hop over if you like to.
Hugs,

We past a ranch with a Bunch of buffalo roaming around in the field yesterday...close to Johnson City here in Texas. Beautiful animals. Love your shots!! Have fun!!hughugs
Great shots, thanks for sharing with us.
These are such majestic creatures in my opinion. They surely make a big presence. When I was growing up, there was a farm in one of the adjoining towns, which had some buffalo... I was always so excited to see them when we drove by the farm. I must admit though, I would be quite nervous seeing them this close. My uncle raised them in Tennessee for awhile, and he told me they can be very dangerous (like the sign says).
Thank you SO much for joining Camera-Critters. This is absolutely a perfect post for CC! I can't wait to see more of your critter photos each week!
What a magnificent creature! We have elk in our area, another huge creature. :)
Looking forward to more visits to your blog.
OH Lilli those animals are so Beautiful
when I see them roaming free like this I always think histroy fro the reason they've been around so long- so sturdy so magnificent
wow...you took the photos very well.
Mine in here Thanks
They are pretty impressive animals. You wouldn't want to get between one and where he wants to go.
We were at Yellowstone a few years ago and left via Montana. The next year we visited Roosevelt National Park in North Dakota. It's such beautiful country out there! I'll be posting some buffalo pictures in coming weeks. :)
I would be scared to get close to one of these. Looks like they could be dangerous. I do not like pain so I would stay far away.
Magnificent reminder of history. Thank you.
These are the most massive Critters I have seen today.
Your first shot is totally awesome!
Thanks for visiting my blog. Those bison are amazing. Very beautiful critters.
Very nice picture!
That is good to know that they are protected! Beautiful pictures of them. :-)
Lilli: What wonderful photos of an all American animal.
They are magnificent creatures!
Marvellous photographs from big bison!
Very good and informative post!
Great shots, I like the information plaque too!
It really is something to see a whole group of them, isn't it? We went to Rapid City, SD about a year and a half ago, and drove through Custer State Park to see the wildlife. I had never seen buffalo like this before.
Bison are pretty neat animals. We've seen them in Theodore Roosevelt National Park in North Dakota. We've also seen them in Yellowstone. Good post for this weeks meme.
I've never seen a real Bison before and I think they are such majestic animals. Thank you for sharing these wonderful shots and sharing the interesting information about them.
Thanks for visiting my other blog.
Thanks for dropping by and leaving a nice comment. Love the Bison shot.
what a wonderful animal and fantastic photos. the bison is surely a national animal. it is so symbolic on so many levels.
Beautiful animals! We have a population over here as well, but I've never seen them...
What a fine first choice!
I've been fortunate enough to see buffalo in the flesh in Canada - very impressive beasts.
Have also been to Head Smashed in Buffalo Jump, where the idians use to drive the animals over the cliff. The interpretive centre there was fascinating.
Very nice are they hostile towards people who come close to them? How exciting!!
Wow! great animals.
Bison are cool critters. There's a ranch near Smith Rock raising some, and the farm I grew up on in Illinois is a Buffalo Ranch now.
But the best ones I have seen were those in Yellowstone. Can't wait for the day I can return there.
