Our Buffalo Herds

Part of a herd one thousand strong, with another herd in the far distance. Click it for a bigger view.
They are so numerous, the highlight of watching the herds is often the sounds they make, as a million blades of grass whisper against the passing mass of bodies.  Their ceaseless grunts, moos, bellows and moans echo for miles.  Oddly, buffalo aren't loud animals on their own, but when thousands congregate, their collective voices and hoof drops form a city of sounds.
