On the last day of April this robin, perhaps a male, may be scouting out a May nest building site. Robins are one of our earliest birds to nest. The male arrives first and picks out an area an acre in size. When the females arrive and join their mates the final size of the mating area is reduced to about 1/3 of an acre.

To some folks "Grazing in the Grass" is a single that hit #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in 1968 or was in the soundtrack of "The Lion King 1 1/2" in 2004 but to this buffalo in the elk pasture above Kendrick Park it is a way of life in 2012. It doesn't seem to mind the overcast sky and rainy conditions that have dampened the spirits of some this weekend.

The wind driven rain couldn't wash the white line off Scott Field allowing the official to see the ball Cheyenne East's goalie Dalton Hass has in his left arm cross over the goal line for the Sheridan Bronc score.

Number 1 definitely beats number 2 as the #1 ranked Sheridan Broncs stomped all over the #2 Cheyenne Central Indians at Homer Scott Field Friday evening. The windy, cold conditions only seemed to help the Broncs who jumped on the scoreboard 7-minutes into the game on a penalty kick by Hunter Reece - follow the ball in this 7-photo collage.

Reece controls the ball

Surrounded by red Reece control dribbles

Reece controls the ball as he moves toward the goal with Central's Matt Blaney lurking off to his left

It is now one on one as Reece and Blaney head for the ball but don't forget about McClurg watching from the left

Central's goalie, Jame Segrave now appears in front of the net as McClurg watches from the far left as Reece appears to be getting ready to kick

Or perhaps a kick now as goalie Segrave spreads out

Reece with hands on his back evidently wants to get closer and now looks ready to kick

Is Reece pushed by Blaney?

Reece gets closer to the corner of the goal as goalie Segrave shifts toward his left

Reece starts his kick

The kick by Reece appears to get past or is just tipped by the goalie Segrave just slightly wide of the goal

But don't forget about McClurg who was lurking on the far left who has now come into view

McClurg puts the airborne ball near the goal (now near the left shoulder of Central's #4 Drew Porter)

The ball kicked by McClurg is now into the net

An elated McClurg looks back to make sure the ball went in as Wollenman who made the Throw In appears on the far left. The Broncs are happier than the Indians

Perhaps McClurg is looking to take the ball as a keepsake

The ball settles to the turf

The score is now 3 to 0

Four happy Broncs - Sam LeTempt, Lucas Wollenman, Patrick McClurg and hidden from view is Hunter Reece as they head down the field

Hunter Reece who set up the score by design or chance now comes into view as two dejected Indians Anthony Menghini and Matt Blaney show their anguish

Reece gets a moving handshake from LeTempt as Wollenman and McClurg follow them with smiles all around

Two varieties of deer were enjoying rain washed grass on Friday morning. The two killdeer birds didn't seem bothered at all by the two white tail deer grazing near by on the lush, wet green grass - wet from the April showers that arrived in the Sheridan area and that are expected to last through the weekend.

The proposed relocation of the North Main Street & Interstate 90 interchange is one step closer to reality. The Federal Highway Administration has completed an environmental assessment and WYDOT has identified "Alternative 4" as the preferred option.
