Grazing Bison, Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge, Oklahoma

Photograph by George F. Mobley

Stately American bison graze beneath gold-lined clouds in the Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge in Oklahoma. Established in 1905, the refuge now shelters roughly 600 bison. Excess animals are sold live at public auction every October.
