May Photo of the Month: Lone Pronghorn, Custer State Park, South Dakota
May’s photo of the month was taken on the 5th of May, 2009 in Custer State Park, South Dakota. While we had seen hundreds of pronghorn in small groups as we drove through Wyoming and South Dakota, this one was strangely by itself along a creek in Custer State Park.
As the pronghorn came to the creek and began wading across it, I shot a series of images through an open window while inside the truck, knowing that if I opened a door the animal would bail on me. These are such flighty creatures that even the smallest noise sets them off at a full run.
This is my favorite shot of the series. To me it gives a sense of anticipation as the pronghorn pauses to make sure the coast is clear before entering the water.
