Photos that I have taken of Wildlife

~Mountain Lion caught on our camera

 

It was very surprising to receive a notification on our front porch camera showing this beautiful Mountain Lion as it walked across the front of the house.  It looks big and healthy.

This video was captured back in November and we haven’t seen it since. I read that they like to roam around in the early morning hours and at dusk.  So taking Riley out before bed every night feels just a little bit different these days. (I apologize for the Nest Cam advertising.)

~Sheila’s Critter Cam-South Dakota Bison

July 2020 Custer State Park

Taking a nap.
Calf nursing.
Perhaps a yearling, getting a sip of water.
They haven’t lost all their winter coat yet.
Cooling off.
I think Mom has had enough. The calf was ramming her pretty hard.

The rut season was just starting when we were there. One male Bison ripped the back bumper off a car!
