Local Wildlife

I was sitting in our great room enjoying a quiet Sunday afternoon by the fire when the neighbors decided to drop by.

Antelope are commonly seen in Wyoming. They are migratory and are seen in different areas at different times of the year. I have often seen them in my pasture where they will stop and look at me through the window. Unfortunately, as soon as I move to get the camera, so do they.

Wyoming is the only state with more antelope than people.

They are an amazing animal that can reach speeds of 60 mph. The antelope of North American are called Pronghorns, but more commonly referred to as just antelope in Wyoming. During the winter they form mixed-sex herds. In spring, males and females will separate with young males and females forming separate groups and adult males living solitarily.

Wildlife viewing here in northwestern Wyoming is spectacular, especially when you can look at them out your front window.
