Cody, WY, June 7, 2009, The Rest of the Day

After breakfast and a completing a series of overdue chores, MMG and I decided that the weather had lifted enough for us to go see the real reason we had for coming to Cody.

About 15 miles west of Cody is the Buffalo Bill Dam which backs up the Buffalo Bill Cody Reservoir. Where the North Fork of the Shoshone River enters the reservoir there is a shallow area perfect as a feeding and resting area for the migrating White Pelicans. Last year there were dozens of them in residence and MMG was able to get many excellent pictures. We were hoping to duplicate that success this year.

Here's why the plan did not quite work out....

The snow and misty rain were not quite through up on the mountains....

So, back to the campground where we were just in time for the Mule Deer parade!


After lunch and a little walking tour of downtown Cody, we decided to give it another shot and were able to get these pictures, among others......

"I'm telling you guys, it's time to go fishing!"

Looks like a lullaby duet. Look at the sleepers.

"Booooring." Yawn........

Fortunately there were other animals around. Here are a couple especially for Mary E. Nesbitt, Granddaughter!

A prancing Mule Deer.

And......

A Bunny Rabbit!

Also we did find our next house. It's empty and available. The architect/owner was killed in an accident while building it.......

Can't figure out why it hasn't sold.......

And so our Snowy Morn Day ended like this.....

Tomorrow we'll be heading south, planning to spend the night in Rawlins, WY.

'Til then.....

MMG and DDG
