The morning this was taken a couple weeks ago saw me capture some of my best bison pics ever. The action shots got the most of my attention but I have to say, this is one of my favorites too.

The young “red dog” calf was walking with the herd, oftentimes jumping and running just like you would expect a kid to do. At one point, it stopped and watched as a big bull came walking by. I happened to capture the scene, with the little one seeming to look up to its elder.

The calf is starting to change colors to its adult, brown coat, and was the only true calf among the herd. In the coming months though, I would expect there will be a whole new batch of calves to watch.

Captured with my Canon 6D Mark II and Tamron SP 70-200 f2.8 Di.
