I have a couple. This first one is from NE Oregon on 6/21/22, in Wallawa mountains at 6500 feet in meadows with trees adjacent to pine/oak woodlands. There were at least 5 of the same species within a few 100 yards of each other vocalizing many times.
Here’s a pix of feather I found this morning showing feather abrasion.
Developing chicks at Mills Pond.
After birding in the wind and rain most of the day, watching this Merlin eat his meal in the hot tub at Mary’s (us in the hot tub, not the merlin) was quite copacetic!!!
This guys been hanging around my place this winter. He was dacha bird #138. Am now up to 143. This is a digi-bin pix.
Here’s my second lifer of the trip. Also from near Lincoln, Montana in same burned woodlands. Although we didn’t study this one in B3, I think you can figure it out
Plus I was visited by an angel!!
