A day out on the Prairie

A couple of days ago we went out in search of something to take pictures of.  And boy did we find some!
First we saw a herd of buffalo, with lots and lots of babies....



On down the road we found lots of wild flowers....












And we found some big bull buffaloes coming up out of the creek bottom......






And a Plover that was running around out in the middle of the bulls....



Heading down the the creek....(yes, I took pictures of EVERYTHING!!)


We saw a Mountain Boomer by the road......


On down to the creek we went.....






And on the way home, we saw deer way off in the distance....

And even some wild turkeys....

It was a very, very fun day!!!

Gone Fishin'



Me and Dad went fishing last Saturday and we saw all kinds of prairie wildlife.
While on our way to the pond we saw a Bob-White Quail setting on the fence. He was just singing his little heart out!



Can you spot the Buffalo in this one?

When we went to the next pond, I spotted some Wild Burgamot blooming along the pond dam.



Here's a close up......


After we got done at this pond, we went back to Wild Hog Creek. Didn't catch anything but I did get a picture of a Mountain Boomer (or Collard Lizard).
Had to take the pic. from across the creek, though.

At the last pond we went to, I snapped this picture of a Widow Skimmer dragonfly posing on a little tree, just for me!

Thanks for looking!
