Mule Deer
I played cat and mose with this beautiful Mule Deer buck as he hid from me, then re-appeared in the thickets . This was October 14th /2015 just outside the Grasslands National Park in S W Saskatchewan...
Prairie Dogs
On October 8th /2015 I saw and photographed my first Prairie Dog @ Grasslands National Park! These little guys are really great to observe!
This is a view taken from the South colony of Prairie Dogs @ GNP. This scene can be witnessed for over a mile and far off each side of the trail....
BISON
The Prairie Bison once roamed freely over vast tracts of North America and were all but wiped out during the late 1800's .
Today @ Grasslands National Park there is a free ranging herd of nearly 400 living freely as their ancestors once did. The old bull above scratches his back on a rare object in this part of the world.... Very few trees exist here , likely due to the harsh conditions.
