The view from the causeway
Avocets and assorted ducks
Western meadowlark
These are a favorite bird from my childhood. We lived out in the country and I knew it was summer vacation because these birds would call me awake in the early morning.
Long billed curlew hiding in the long grass
Yes it’s in this picture
Sleepy Great horned owl
In the distance way out from where I was shooting there was movement on the road. I thought YAY a coyote. Then I got the critter in focus and it was the largest jack rabbit I have ever seen.
And bison
Cute baby bison!
This time the mammal in the far distance really was a coyote!

Amazing! So many avocets. Gorgeous picture of the Western Meadowlark — I love the one where he is facing the camera. And the long-billed curlew — fantastic. and more…
