This scene occured in Custer State Park in June. These buffalo were in the perfect place with a great blue sky and clouds. Custer State Park is one of the best places to photograph buffalo. It has great backgrounds to use and you can get very close to the buffalo while staying in your car.
Here is a closeup of one of the many buffalo.
This picture was taken with a 300mm lens. Many times the buffalo will stand on the road and cause a traffic jam. It is very easy to get within a few feet of them while in your car.

Thanks for the close-up pic of the buffalo. Quite different to the South African one but equally impressive.
Fantastic to lok at an Buffalo! Thanks for sharing! It looks so cute. And it's wonderful animal!
You SWF-shot is wonderful too:)
Hey Nutty Birder, thanks for stopping by. Once upon a time, a long, long time ago, I spent a summer as an employee of Custer State Park. I had some very interesting close encounters with some of the buffalo there. I love your photo essay, I think you've captured the spirit of the place extremely well. Also, you might want to check out birchick.com if you don't already know about her. She's terriffic.

Exellent photos and happy to read the background info. It seems to be checking you out on the photo. Stubborn eyes, so I can see why there are those traffic jams:)
Great photos, but I can tell you I wouldn't want to get close to that big guy! :-)
