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.
When you feel fall
When fall first comes you feel the sunlight change, the pond becomes just a bit quieter and the clouds look a specific way.
We each have developed a feeling of fall depending on where we live but when fall comes you can feel it with all you senses.
Looking at the Tetons on an early fall afternoon it felt just like fall to me.
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.
Lichen,Rock and Spruce.
We were up high in the mountains a week or two ago and much to our surprise there were numerous butterflies going about their business even as the nights have been cold and the flowers have long died out for this season. Must be slim pickings this time of year for this wonderful comma butterfly foraging on Lichen, Rocks and Spruce.

In The Rabbit Brush-sea of yellow
A corn ear worm moth spending time with one of our favorite late bloomers in the area the Rabbit Brush plant. Love the beautiful yellows of this plant in bloom and it looks like the moth does as well.
On a hilltop
When the wind blows lenticulars form.
