Yellow Warbler – A Snack And Then A Vertical Takeoff
Yesterday morning I spent some time in the mountains looking mostly for songbirds. The focus limiter on my lens and I had a couple of disagreements which I inevitably lost so I botched several of my most promising photo ops but I thought this encounter with a Yellow Warbler turned out to be a fun and interesting one.
What Happened To The Chukars On Antelope Island?
For several years I’ve wanted to know what caused the Chukar population on Antelope Island to crash. Recently State Park Assistant Manager Wendy Wilson provided some answers.

If you’re going to dig or maintain a burrow in spring you’re very likely to end up looking a little like a kid who’s been playing in the mud.
Mountain Bluebirds At A Natural Nest Cavity
