Home on the range: American Bison

This year a photo vacation took me to the National Bison Range south of Flathead Lake, Mont. It is a 173-mile drive from Bonners Ferry, about a 3-and-a-half hour trek. Theodore Roosevelt established the National Bison Range in 1908 to provide “for a permanent national bison range.” The refuge is also home for a host of other mammals, birds and plants. The diverse habitats found here provide for the specific needs of many different animals.

I could see by his appearance and behavior it was a woodpecker and after reviewing my “Birds of Idaho field guide”, I discovered it was a Northern Flicker.
