Sometimes I wonder ...

why it takes me so much longer than Bob to process a vacation. He gets home, chooses photos to print, writes in his v=travel journal and poof! he is all caught up. I am just now finding things like the list of animals I tried to keep when we traveled out West.

Here it is:

Coutless horses

Countless cows

Stopping counting at 4 Magpies becuase we saw them everyday after that, though this photo does not do that majestic tail justice!

(on-line photo)

There was one hawk with rings in its wings that I have nto identified.. of course, the bird books were at home.

6 mountain bluebirds (it really helped that the National Park newspaper directed us what to look for!)

(on-line photo)

At least 4 Bald Eagles, 2 in flight

21 wild Bison, not counting the large herds we saw at least twice

11 Elk and one family of male, female and baby. This one was right inside the park boundary hanging out by the camp ground.

 

 

Canada Geese

2 Trumpeter Swans in a small lake (on-line photo)

1 coyote with black tipped tail and yellow/white fur (too far away for the photo to come out well)

 

2 White Pelicans! Go figure! Who knew? Not me.

 

Prong horn sheep herd,

 

This nice close-up from on-line

Then a group of 4 on Antelope Island in Utah

 

We also saw 4 cowboys driving a herd of Balck Angus. Though we could not hear the "Yippe-Yippe" calls that Cowboy Small assures us they make (in Rowan's book).

 

We drank "Moose Drool Beer." It was actually good and contained no genuine drool. Sadly, we never saw a moose. They are like Corgis and make me laugh.

 

I still need to investigate facts about the wind farms..

Vacation brings all sorts of data to my little mind!
