Photo of the day - June 19

The Alaska Department of Fish and Game has been conducting aerial bison census flights. The bison in this photo were part of an aggregation of approximately 175 bison located along the Delta River recently. Current herd estimates are 379 adults and 101 calves. The reduced number of Delta bison hunting permits issued the last several years have resulted in the herd increasing to it's herd size objective. Photo Courtesy Steve DuBois
