They Are Characters
When I see bisons together I think of them as one large family. Apart, they are personalities with interesting characters, just like us.
Look at this determined guy who is walking slowly and confidently. He is so much aware of his strength.
Female bison is milking her baby. Her motherly look is so soft but alert. Any threat to her baby and the softness of her look will change in an instant and she will fearlessly defend her baby.
What kind of expression is this? I couldn't figure out but he is sure a very expressive.
Showing a tongue to me. What about being polite during the photo op?
Shyness?... I like his eyes, they are not stern, they are soft and gentle.
Powerful!
Generally, life is good!

American Avocets and Franklin's Gulls at the Great Salt Lake
I took these photographs at the end of September at the Great Salt Lake. I was driving along the lake's shore when I spotted the group of Avocets surrounded by several Franklin's Gulls. I walked down to the lake between rocks and sage bushes hoping to get to birds close but Franklin's gulls immediately took off and Avocets stayed.
The skittish Gulls are taking off.
The dancers with long legs and wide spread wings. They look a little bit awkward.
It's nice to have a nap in the cool morning but not everyone is napping, some are still looking for food.
Generally, life is good!
