Summary[edit]

Description
English: As seen in September 2021: the titular quintet of poles in downtown Buffalo's Five Flags Park proudly display, from left to right: the U.S. and Canadian national flags, the state flag of New York, Buffalo's city flag, and a pair of flags with the logotypes of the Buffalo Bills and Buffalo Bisons professional sports teams. Serving as a centerpiece and flanked by a pair of cylindrical planters populated with lilies is a small statue of a bison, installed in 1975 on the occasion of the American Bicentennial with funding from the Forsythe Fund and the municipal Parks Department. This is one of three identical figures sculpted by Cecilia Evans Taylor (1897-1994), a renowned local artist who specialized in bronze statues of animals. The others were gifted to the citizens of Kanazawa, Japan and Dortmund, Germany - two of Buffalo's sister cities - in 1966 and 1982 respectively. In the background at left, an NFTA Metro Bus on route #3 has just departed from the Metropolitan Transportation Center and is now heading for the city's West Side.
