Immature Western Tanager After A Dainty Bath

Plus a local man has died after likely being gored by a bison on Antelope Island.

Coyote With Raised Hackles

I can only guess what caused this coyote to bristle like it did but something ‘out there’ certainly got its attention as a potential threat or rival.

Gray Catbird Out In The Open, At Least For A Catbird

The numerous catbirds at this location in the mountains have been nearly impossible for me to photograph but three days ago this one let its guard down momentarily and gave me an almost literal ‘window’ of opportunity.

MacGillivray’s Warbler – Big Stretch For Aphids
