Writer spent nine days for the Thanksgiving holiday in the wild arms of Wyoming to find beautiful examples of birds and mammals.  I believe that I took home some very exciting examples.

Mornings were very brisk, some reaching lows of 8 degrees Fahrenheit, but by the time late morning and the afternoon arrived, we were seeing some very comfortable temperatures.  We also saw The Lander Bake Shop a couple of times, which made any temperature feel pleasant.  One can get organic coffee that comes from Jackson Hole and some very fine breakfast and baked goods, some of which are gluten free.  Go there if you're in the area, as you'll not be disheartened by the offerings.

It was necessary to come here to locate some of the nemesis birds that escaped my shutter, and I also got some lovely memories of white tailed deer and bighorn sheep, which will not come down the mountain at will.

Much of the time was spent in Fremont County, though two Golden Eagles were viewed on fenceposts on Route 26 on the way to Casper.  It woke me up.  We also managed to see several Bald Eagles which are relatively common, whereas the goldens are not.
