The north rim of the Grand Canyon lives the timber bison. We were so excited to see the herd as we drove around. it was so cute when this baby bison made his way to the mother and started feeding off of her.
The herd was pretty large. The one thing we did notice was, that they were much smaller then the buffalo at Yellowstone. There antlers were shorter too. The fur seems to be quite different as well.
Among the buffalo were deer as well. These were different than the deer we are use to seeing as well. There were more of these guys roaming around that the bison. We were sure that we would hit one before the ride was through. Thankfully we did not, due to Donnie's driving skills.
The most usual sight we came across, was the Kaibab squirrel. Marge had sent me a link about these squirrel before vacation, hoping we would get to see one, and one we did. He ran across the road and up the tree before we could get any good shots off. This was the best that I got.
So, buffalo Thursday turned out just as exciting as this past week. Each day brings new and cool things to see, and we are only in our first week. I am not sure how much more I can take. LOL.
