Dale Schaffner has been a farmer in Buffalo County all of his life. He has always had a deep connection to the land. Farming is a way of life that has honed his eye for detail and fostered a profound awareness of the wildlife and natural beauty surrounding him. It was from the vantage point of his tractor, amidst long hours and quiet observation, that his passion for photography began. He noticed the subtle movements of the animals, the fleeting moments of light, and the intricate patterns of nature that many do not see. With countless hours patiently waiting for the perfect shot and developing a deep understanding of animal behavior, he has mastered the art of capturing the essence of area nature and wildlife. Dale\u2019s photographs are a testament to his dedication, his patience, and profound respect for the natural world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/wingsoveralma.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/IMG_2816-1024x768.jpeg\")
