Black-backed Woodpecker
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
Remember Your Empids ?
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.
Cassin’s Finch
Who can remember 5 things that ID this bird? Western Montana
