through the park. We've seen bison, elk, ravens, and chipmunks so far.
The bison are amazing. I think they think we are little ants: tiny,
and a nuisance, but certainly not anything to worry themselves about.
We've seen about 20 so far, and even one mama bison with two babies 10
feet from a trail full of people. The best, though, was when we were
sitting in what we affectionately call a bison-jam where someone stops
in the middle of the road to take a picture of a bison in a meadow, so
everyone behind them has to stop, too. When the photographer had his
pics and started to move on, the bison just walked on into the road,
right in front of our car! As if the bison was saying, "I posed for
your silly picture and now I'm going to cross the street so stay out
of my way tiny humans.". I love bison.
I admit, though, that we are not the most patient when driving behind
people who stop to take pictures from the road. Today, we were behind
a line of cars and the person at the front kept stopping, then going a
few feet, then stopping, then going again. It was so frustrating. We
couldn't even see anything worth photographing, which made us even
madder. We were about to just go around the guy, when we realized he
was taking pictures of a beautiful fox bouncing through the meadow
right by the road. We both said "awwww!" immediately stopped our car,
whipped out both cameras and started snapping pics...completely
infuriating the people driving behind us.
