Camera action while being outdoors enjoying the fresh air and adventure. Feel free to add yours too.

Had the first broadtail show up on May 1, but most barely hang around for more than a sip as they pass through.

This guy has hit the feeder off and on all day:

These things bomb around the feeder all day long and are incredibly territorial. Bad time to have a shortage of baking supplies when these things drink sugar water by the pint.

13 Lined Ground Squirrel.
Now that this one has broken out of hibernation it must mean that the snow storms are over until fall.

Great photos!

Orange-crowned Warbler.
Very faint orange crown on this one. I also don't know what they are after in these flowers.


The plumage color and these flowers sure blend together.

Great photos!

Thank you. The pace that I am getting and posting these shots will probably slow down as soon as the leaves come out. Visibility will be reduced to almost nothing when the leaves fill in the openings that I have been getting my shots through.

Not the greatest light by the time we hiked down in here, but I always get excited when the flowers start

The Longnose Suckers are spawning about 3 weeks later than normal this year.

The growth has started.

Not in a full out sprint, but he was out in the open and looking to get to the cottonwoods quickly.

American Woodcock.
First time in my life that I have found a woodcock in the middle of a gravel road in sunny conditions. Normal behavior for this species is finding them at dusk on a muddy road with puddles.

Definitely must be spring, record numbers of warblers and cedar waxwings hitting the feed bag in my yard today. Fueling up for the next leg of their trip north I assume

Finally got shots of the Cedar waxwings (fruit eaters).


A desperation flock shot too.

Northern Yellow Warbler.

 

[huronmtns]

Chestnut-sided Warbler: I have only seen two of these in my life. Migration from Central America (wintering) to the North central and North eastern US and Canada (breeding). It does not look like there is much compromise for breeding/wintering grounds. Actually a neat looking bird.
