Happy National Bison Day everyone! The first Saturday in November is a time to celebrate my favorite large land animal and a symbol of our country’s heritage. The bison is especially important for the Native American cultures of the Great Plains. I find it inspiring that these creatures were brought back from the brink of extinction due to the efforts of many people.
I haven’t seen any bison recently so I dug up a picture of me and Dad from the summer of 2025. We were visiting the bison in Yellowstone’s Lamar Valley.
