There’s got to be a good place for this seed somewhere in this cottonwood tree.

Yellow Rumped
Just hanging out in the spruce happy to make your day. A Yellow Rumped warbler sings away. Grand Teton National Park, WY.
Eyeing Berries
This American Robin is eyeing a vine filled with berries all the while eyeing me trying to discern if it is safe to make his move. After a few minutes assessing the situation this guy flew into the vine out of sight but was definitely heard feasting away on this fall bounty.
mmmmm….berries!
Precarious Perch
When we spotted this Juvenile Black Crowned Night Heron in a tree at sunset he took off flew a quick circle and landed agin on the smallest thinest branch of the tree. Wobbling back and forth flapping his wings to keep steady….kids will be kids.
Red Winged Blackbird
A Red winged Blackbird ushering October. His breeding colors are fading and soon it will be time to head for warmer climes but today he welcomes in the new month with a lovely morning song.
Common Merganser
Oh to be a teenager.
A young common merganser enjoys a sunny fall afternoon lounging on a rock in Sting Lake. Grand Teton National Park, WY.
Bath Time
Ahhh…one last bath on a fine fall day. A Magpie bathing in a small pond as the sun shines on an unseasonably warm fall afternoon.
In Vern’s Yard
Todays post is a tribute Christy’s father Vern who passed away last week at 87 years of age. Vern was a thoughtful and humble man with a deep respect for nature. Vern’s worked ceaselessly to make his yard a welcoming and comfortable place for the animals which inhabited the foothills outside of Denver, CO. These photos taken in his yard seem a fitting tribute to a great man who said much with few words.
Youth
An immature Bald Eagle waiting patiently for a meal to present itself along the Snake River in Teton National Park. It seems almost every time we kayak this stretch of the Snake River an eagle swoops down attempting to catch a fish. Having the camera ready is a different story.
Beak to Beak
Getting beak to beak, so to speak, with a Raven on a windy afternoon in Yellowstone NP.
