20th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest The American Experience
King of the Prairie
One lone bison, snow grazing on the prairie, just east of the Rocky Mountains in Colorado. Even if you have more than a foot of snow on the ground, they can still dig through and find it. Oblivious to my presence he foraged about for over an hour, head down, as I sat in the snow in sub-freezing temperatures waiting for him to lift up his head. It took an hour, but he finally gave me an iconic Americana shot.
