It looks like I'm getting the stink eye from this bull bison. Good thing I was right by the car! One of the things I've learned about Custer State Park is you need to get off of the paved Wildlife Drive and go out on the gravel roads that criss-cross the prairie. On this particular morning, I had an entire herd of bison to myself. There were at least 150 head in the herd with numerous "red dogs." I was ever hopeful to get the little calves doing their chasing, bucking and generally being cute but alas, they had already grown to the point that this behavior was in their past. Darn! The other thing I have leaned is get there early as the crowds generally don't start showing up until after 8 or so.

My favorite photo of our 2020 Black Hills trip. This trio of chipmunks was scurrying about on a deadfall late one evening. Out of a sequence of about twenty images, this was the only one where all three ere completely in the frame. Lucky for me they all had their heads up in this one shot.
