#TallgrassPrairiePreserve

Difficult decision this morning whether to start with the Tyrants or with the Troglodytes in the bird review. Given that the administration consists of both, and that the ultraweathly are both it seemed a toss up. Looking at Ukraine and the impending economic rape of that country, I decided to go with Tyrants, starting with a well known Tyrannus forficatus, the Scissor-tailed Flycatcher.

At #TallgrassPrairiePreserve, near #Pawhuska, #Oklahoma, my spouse and I were able to view #bison up close! They're beautiful #animals, and are part of the natural ecosystem of the #tallgrassprairie.
