Hello All, after a wonderful visit with family in Omaha, NE, we are back on the road again. We are spending a week in Casper, WY. The second largest city in the state of Wyoming, you would think it would have more than one brewery.....but there is only one:(. It does have a very nice IPA and there is another brewery opening up in the near future for anyone else who may come visit. Frontier Brewing is the name of the brewery.
We are actually staying the much smaller city, right next to Casper, of Evansville. Just about a mile from us a nice herd of antelope hang out right in the middle of a prairie dog town. Pretty cool. We have also been up on Casper Mountain, 30 minutes away, for some good hiking, beautiful scenery and cooler temperatures! It will be in the 90s all week here:

Your bird may be a Whiporwill... thanks for the Casper preview we may be passing through there soon.
ReplyDeleteI believe the bird is a nighthawk. Love all the critters you are seeing!
