It seems that July is going to be very hot. The bison are laying on sand in the sun. The ladies, as usual, enjoy the sunbathing. The lazy atmosphere, with flies buzzing in the hot air, is interrupted only by the sounds of tractor’s engine, the visitors or… presence of the photographer J.

For the free-ranging bison, summer means the time of giving birth. The pregnant female leaves her group, and comes back a few days after, with the new-born. The first few weeks together are very important for the female and her child: this is the time of bonding, when the calf learns to recognize its mother’s scent and voice.
