Stellar’s, Lichen and Light
While out on a morning walk we heard this Stellar’s Jay calling from within a dim forest filled with lichen covered trees. We followed the calling and when he briefly moved into a small patch of filtered morning light got a glimpse of a wonderful Jay who seemed right at home in his wonderful forest of lichen and light
Red Breasted Nuthatch
We rarely see nuthatches in our area so it was a pleasure to spot a red breasted nuthatch prowling a tree in our area. It is cool to see these guys walking head first down a tree looking for a meal.

Jumping for Joy
While floating down a stretch of the Snake River in WY we startled this Sandhill Crane who was hidden in the grass on the river bank. They squawked a Sandhill Crane squawk and did a big jump of alarm but given the river was moving us right along they soon had the bank to themselves again.
Black Crowned
We see this Black Crowned Night Heron at the same spot along the South Platte river almost every evening in the summer patiently working the water for a meal.
