It's always a treat when the vultures fly low enough for me to get a decent look at them!

A break from all my MarmotPosting(TM). Saw this stunning Red-winged Blackbird collecting some food for her young! Fingers crossed that her kids grow up healthy and strong.

Y'all are probably getting tired of marmots by now... but who could resist these??

Some more marmot pictures - the mother of the group is very, very alert, but she isn't too worried about us humans being a threat!

This is different from my usual bird posting, but I got the pleasure of watching these absolutely adorable baby marmots play-fighting!

Rare that a bird comes so close to us that my camera has issues focusing on it!
Yellow-headed Blackbirds have one of my favorite scientific names ever - Xanthocephalus xanthocephalus.

I know male Wood Ducks are the super vibrant showstoppers, but I always find the females prettier, if I'm being honest.

Figure none of my old pictures are up on BlueSky quite yet, so I might as well get to posting a few of them! These two Black-necked Stilts are from 2023, but it's still one of my favorite pictures.

Hello Bluesky - it's been a few days since I've posted. To make up for it, have a fun little game - can you count how many kinds of birds are in this picture? Bonus points if you can ID them all!

It was a long drive, but more than worth it for one of the prettiest birds I've ever seen. This Snowy Owl has been at this roosting place for quite a while, and seemed quite unbothered at the papparazi!
