Picture



Wyoming, June 2015


This is a temporary page that I have hidden in the navigation menu so that you generally have to have a link to access it (unless you do a search for something here, like "sora", and then it will show up).  These are simply snapshots of our recent trip, documenting that we were actually there and a little of what we saw, with some emphasis on birds.  Click on the images to enlarge them.  Check back again.  I will try to add more as I can.

If you have suggestions (or corrections) for identification of the birds or other features, please don't hesitate to let me know. 

Enjoy.





Sora
Osprey
Probable Vesper Sparrow. Other thoughts?
Yellow Warbler
Bones and Tetons
Probable Vesper Sparrow. Others?
Ring-necked Duck--I think.
Ring-necked Duck?
Chipping Sparrow
Red-winged Blackbird, adult female. Really different from male.
Yellow-rumped Warbler
Something in the air! The bull catches the scent.
Blue Grouse
Red Fox
Pretty sure this is a Ruffed Grouse.
Pronghorn buck on the move.
Bull Elk in velvet
Morning at Schwabacher
I had never noticed Red-winged Blackbirds harassing Sandhill Cranes, but they did vigorously this morning.
Hay rack and trees near Blacktail Butte
Tetons, Mid-morning
Rock with Geraldine Lucas bronze plaque beneath Tetons.
Alternate view, with some distortion, of Lucas Rock.
Note the still-visible workmanship on the logs. When Luther Taylor homesteaded this site and built his cabin, he used a saw to fit the window but used an axe in hewing the logs, and the marks of both are still clear. The cabin was later used as a central feature in the movie Shane.
