There was only one black bear that we saw...at first he wasn't cooperating as he was directly below the lookout and right against the fence. Not the makings of a very good picture, but I was patient and caught this picture on our way back around.
These are Sandhill Cranes...Justin said he's never seen so many in all his life. There were at least a hundred.
The buffalo were not in the mood...all they would show me was butt...buttheads!
I'm really liking this picture:
The wolves were rather reclusive...you really had to search to find them in the wooded areas.
There was a smidgen of fall foliage left.
This was one really STEEP sent of 'stairs' along the trail. It doesn't look that bad, but this picture only shows a bit of it! Good thing it was towards the end of the trail...if it had been at the beginning, we probably would have turned around!
Overall, it was a beautiful day...right around 60 degrees and sunny. Can't ask for much more on an early November day in the Midwest. Hope you like the pics!
