Had a message from Vicky - one of the girls I work with at the Chamber - she and her family live on Horse Butte which is about 6 or 7 miles north of West Yellowstone.

Horse Butte is one of the locations where the Yellowstone Bison migrate to during this time of the year.  Traditionally, many of the baby bison are born at this location.

The residents of Horse Butte are usually among the first ones to see the babies in the spring.  As you can easily see from the picture, the baby bison are orange in color.  That makes them really easy to spot when they are in the herd.

The official arrival of the babies signify that Spring has not forgotten our area of the country.  

You will be amazed at how much these little ones will grow over the summer.  They need to eat all the can and grow as big as they can in order for them to survive next winter.
