Nikon D300 Salad | Pronghorn Portrait Pronghorn roam the Badlands. Pronghorn are North America’s fastest land animal. They also roam much of the the America West and The Great American Prairie. Pronghorn live in grasslands, brush lands and deserts. They migrate from a summer feeding grounds to a winter feeding grounds. Although they tend to travel in large or small herds, often they graze alone or somewhat apart from the herd. They seem so majestic alone in a field. For more information and images, see Pronghorn | a 7 Image Story.
The Back Story This image was a simple click out the car window. Sometimes, Pronghorn will pose for the camera. Using a vehicle for a blind also helps to get closer without disturbing the critter. Note: I post an image everyday at hankconrad.com.
