Finally The Wild Buffalo

On a recent warm day I went out in search of all the nature I could find. The first thing I wanted to do was see some buffalo. I decided to stop over at the buffalo farm because I figured that would probably be my best bet, but I didn't see any of them out there. No luck yet.

My next journey was through Broken Kettle Grasslands because that's where the wild buffalo live. Even though I've never seen them here yet, I had a feeling I was going to get lucky on this day. Sure enough, as I traveled down the road looking out my side window, I saw something moving out in the distance.

I had to strain to see them out there, and they were only dots to my own eyes. I really had no idea whether they were actually buffalo or if they were only cows like I saw the last time I saw animals out here.

The thing is, even though I could basically see not much more than specks on the landscape, they didn't look like cows. I could swear that I thought I saw bigger shoulders and heads on these creatures. They couldn't be cows, could they?

I had to zoom my camera in all the way to get the pictures I did because they were so far away. I hoped it was enough to see them in the pictures. I still couldn't make out what they were in my view screen. I realized I wasn't going to find out what I was seeing until I got home to look at the pictures.

I just kept taking as many pictures as I could, hoping they would be good enough and close enough to see. I just knew in my heart the whole time that they had to be buffalo that I was seeing. Last time I did this they turned out to be cows. I wasn't really sure then. I'm glad this time I was completely right.

I have a lot more pictures than these. But how many can I really share in one post? I almost never go above five, but my usual is three. I figured these were good enough for now. I can't tell you how good I felt when I got home and looked at the pictures to see that they were indeed buffalo. Well, I guess I just did.

These buffalo are the biggest wild animals I've ever seen with my own eyes. I've seen plenty of deer, but they don't come close to this size. This is one of those wildlife sightings that makes me feel like I accomplished something. That happens whenever I see something new and special. It's a wonderful feeling. This is why I love nature so much. I'll talk to you later.
