Smart girl

Our thoughts exactly.

I had to look that one up. Are they the same east/west as we have them but never saw a female. Learn something new everyday!

I'm better at taking photos of rocks because they don't move, but this bird stayed still and posed. Can I get an id, please? This was May 2th at 9400 feet in the Sierra Nevada. It is gripping dwarf willows along a stream.

Look up Fox Sparrow (slate color)

Female red wing black birds should have a eye stripe

The beak sure has the look of a redwing, but I think you’re right.

My thought is a sooty fox sparrow?

Sneakily kind of guy. He's going to be a big fellow when out of velvet.
Beautiful.
Thanks.

Early this morning, the boys were back and bedded down in the sagebrush. They stood and yawned as I snuck out the door to get a few images.

A fine buck in velvet Steve!

Tony, thanks. This morning there were eight of them, but I didn’t get any photos. The 5x6 is a stunning animal.

Hope you get to photo him when he has lost his velvet.

We spend a lot of time in SE Oregon. Over the last few years, we have not seen many snakes. This year is really the exception. I found this big boy on a hike and got this image from 4 feet. He was plenty PO’d and made sure I heard all of his 7 buttons. The next day I found his brother on another hike near an old rusted out BLM water trough. This must be the year of the rattlesnake. Be careful out there !!
