Here’s a few other recent birds from Montana and Wyoming. (the 1 day in my life we planned to go to Yellowstone — floods, evacuation and closure)
I finally got one!! Two actually, an apparently mated pair. Give me an ID before I give you the location.
But the creme de la creme was the hour I spent with this couple underneath the railroad bridge!! They are setting up nest underneath there. Just a delightful way to spend some time!! But they hardly ever came out into the sunlight! But what was really astonishing for me is I was not aware of…
Been hearing many of these on the Oregon Coast. Do you know the ID? (not the robin). Been extremely hard to see (much less photo) any of them. Too many trees!!!
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.
