Cinnamon finches (all females) going after finely crushed corn

While these sayaca tanagers, exclusively frugivores, go nuts over bananas.

Black Crowned Night Heron…

[motojobobo]

This little guy seldom drops by for a sip of water, one of the smaller woodpecker species around here.

[motojobobo]

@Oaktavia they are fairly common around here. Their plumage colors range quite a bit around the bluish tones (age, sex) and when you get a cluster of them it makes for a beautiful palette. I’ll try for a clearer pic next time and post here.

This hawk hung out with us while we were grilling out the other night.

Yesterday, we observed an unusually low perch for a red tailed hawk

[Bridger]

@sabergirl I hope you set another seat at the table

[Mizmazzle]

Came across a few moose while I was out fishing the other day.
A cow and calf here. Also saw a bull later on, but he was too far away to get a decent picture of.

@Mizmazzle where’d ya go?

My buddy lives up near Ned and he constantly has moose and bear on his property. I feel like I’m seeing more and more wildlife of late. Perhaps Mother Nature’s come to arms

@mclaincausey this was out past Salida near North Fork lake.
