Like I said before...The Originals look 100 times better than what uploads due to file size limitations!!!

 

[P&Y Manager]

Great pics! what camera are you using?

 

[bueller]

Thanks Steve. Awesome pics as usual.

Outstanding. My wife is originally from SD and some of her family still lives there. It is great country. Wonderful pics. I can only imagine how the originals look!

 

[Steve Oehlenschlager]

I shot these with a Nikon D810 and D800 and used a 70-200 2.8 and a 300 2.8 lens

 

[John-W-WI]

Amazing as always.

Probably a foolish question, but what kind of owl is that?

-John

 

[Steve Oehlenschlager]

Burrowing Owl. I had not seen one in over 30 years. Then I saw 3 in 5 minutes. They nest in underground burrows that other dig. This one happened to be in a Prairie Dog hole.

Really cool pictures Steve....as always!

Great pics Steve! I like the speed goat buck and his little buddy in the hole. BTW, how close were you to that bull bison?

 

[Steve Oehlenschlager]

I was about 35 yards from him. A got some other shots of other buffalo from 15 feet while in a car, but I was on the ground for this one. A He is a "white" buffalo and when they mature they are sort of cream color. This herd had a ton of white ones, but they would not pose at all for me. The youngest calf was almost pure white.

 

[wiscwhip]

Well all I can say about that is you've either got nuts the size of that bison, or brains the size of those prairie chickens! LOL!:D;)

 

[j-bird]

Like always Steve - Awesome pics. The owl doesn't appear to be happy to see you! I'm sure the buffalo would have cooperated a bit more if you had just asked nicely.....or maybe they would have stomped you into the ground...maybe you where better off not asking!
