Wichita Mountian Wildlife Refuge




This past week, I was working in Midwest City right outside of Oklahoma City. As usual I brought my camera, but didn't think I was going to get to find much interesting to photo. Well I had a down day on Wednesday while my soil samples were on their way to the lab. So I did some searching on Google and Google earth, which brought me to the Wichita Mountains wildlife refuge.
It was a little over an hour outside of Oklahoma city, and boy was i glad I made the trip. It was really cool driving down the road and seeing bison just roaming free. Some were in large herds like the two younger ones in the second photo, and others were just on their own. It was great to get out of the city and find these guys to watch.

Another cool stop in the refuge was called Prairie Dog Town. There were so many prairie dogs there. It was cool watching them run around and look for food and pick on each other. They didn't seem to be bothered by people to much, however one in the bottom photo didn't care to have his photo taken.
