Hi Ted,

I appreciate the feedback -- here's another bison shot *with* its head up 
that I thought you might like, though there isn't a reflection from a car 
anywhere visible:

As far as hitting the horn is concerned, if I did that I'd have to place 
myself on my own Hall of Shame post:
http://exploratorius.us/2013/06/14/hall-of-shame/

I know others do it -- but I do not, preferring instead to leaving the 
critters unmolested.  Yes, the pros do that to get a shot, and yes, I was a 
pro for a long while when I was fresh out of college 
(http://exploratorius.us/about/), but I just take photos for pleasure now.

Thanks for the comments though!
