Why We love Wyoming

The beginning of warm weather always seems to be a good time to view Wyoming wildlife. The photo at the top of this page is a young big horn sheep. Here is a nice pair of Great Blue Heron in a roadside ditch I snapped yesterday.

 

Canada Geese seem to be everywhere these days, so many that they are becoming a pest in some areas but I still enjoy seeing them.

 

A group of Mule Deer Bucks in Guernsey State Park last week

 

A group of Mule Deer Doe in the park, in January

 

February turkeys in the park

 

and of course some super Wyoming Pronghorn west of Wheatland last week

 

That's why we all love Wyoming.

 

Wyoming Storm Coming In

The clouds were heavy but blue was still peaking through when I took these photos yesterday. A half foot of snow was soon to follow, but for me it was a beautiful day. All photos are from the area between Laramie and Wheatland.

Love driving through Wyoming where photo opportunities abound. These Pronghorn were facing away, but typical to their behavior, when I stopped they had to take a look at me. 

Wish I were a little quicker, we saw a group of seven Bald Eagles including one very close up immature Bald. But they are not crazy about stopping SUVs, so I missed my opportunities. I will settle here for some, newly, snow covered mountains. 

For those of you that are in the track of this snow storm, stay warm  and stay safe.
