Digestif

Instead of an after dinner drink a nice nap in the golden grass warmed by the sun makes a fine Digestif for this Pronghorn.
Curlews Rest

At Rivers Edge a Long Billed Curlew passes for a moment to enjoy the view. Although it is several months away I am itching for the return of the curlew to our norther climes and the wonderful song they sing.
Winter Marsh

All ears

Out in fields of golden grasses there are days when Mule Deer just appear as all ears.

A bit like periscopes for sound and all the better to hear you with as they rest on a winter morning.

A Ravens snack

Perched safely atop a post a Raven enjoys a little snack. Where their meal came from might just have been a recent wolf kill as Ravens and Wolves have formed a relationship in some places as this paper describes. In fact some Ravens have even learned to follow specific wolf groups as they hunt and may even have learned specific hunting calls of certain wolf packs. They know when the dinner bell is ringing so to speak. Anyway we saw this raven enjoying their little snack in an area in which we have heard wolf calls in the past so you just never know, their meal might have been provided by wolves this day.



Have a great weekend.

Curious Meadowlark

This Western Meadowlark, which I assumed to be molting, was out in the open foraging last summer. Hunting for insects on open grasslands looking almost like a small new species of vulture with their feathers missing from their neck.
