This mom and cubs had been in the area for a few hours. Later in the afternoon the bison showed up and they had her a bit spooked as well as the cubs. The bison for the most part moved on, but there was still something back beyond the willows that had her on high alert. We never saw what it was but we watched her keep an eye out and move the cubs around.

So this is what it looks like when a mom and cubs run right at you! She was on the other side of the river and the consensus was we move pronto if she hits the water. She did stop just short of the river and unfortunately I believe it was because she saw all the cars. I say unfortunately as because of us I don't think she went where she wanted to. I think most photographers truly love the animals and never want to do anything that is harming them or altering their life. That is why we get the big lens to give them their space. Yet, there are times we fail. Sows with cubs will actually seek out the roads and people as the big bores are a danger to the cubs. The sows have learned the bores avoid people and roads which makes them safer for her and her cubs. So, I suppose we just have to do our best which is good most of the time.
