Sunday stroll in the sunrise and a better sunset

Today I went for a stroll along Bozeman Creek and, then, up to Triple Tree for little birding and a lot of relaxation in the fresh morning light. The surprise bird of the day was a calling Northern Bobwhite – obviously an escaped bird. The whole avian crew is here now except for the Willow Flycatcher.

In the evening, Vida and I went for a little drive to shoot some sunset shots. We managed to find a family group of Northern Three-toed Woodpeckers up Little Bear Creek and a Great Horned Owl near Gooch Hill.

The first hot day

This Sunday was the first really hot day of the year. I went up to the Mount Ellis area, and I was graced with wildflowers and sparrows.

Later on in the day, Non-birding Vida and i went up to the Hyalite area. There is still a considerable amount of snow up there, so no hiking to the waterfalls (maybe in a week or so). Along Hyalite Creek, there were many Milbert’s Tortioseshells and Hoary Commas.
