How could I forget the grays? I've seen Swifts out at Pawnee.

Here's some photos snagged from trail cam videos taken last evening. Mama moose brought baby to our yard to show where the good eats are. And they are eating our hummingbird flower plants. I'm sitting next to the door watching hummers. It was the beginning of prime time before dark with thousands of hummingbirds staging and parrying for spots at the feeders.

Our little hummingbird meadow in the forest will soon be filled with colorful native flowers. Some are blooming now including golden banner, purple penstemon and water plant.

That is one gangly-legged little mooselet...

Here is a mountain goat on Mt. Quandary. I think it was a nanny, but I don't know enough about them to know for sure.

Some yard birds, a family of Gambel's Quail with 19 chicks! I first saw them here 3 days ago when I think they were 1-2 days old.

Also a Gambel's male calling, a male Lesser Goldfinch, a male Brown-headed Cowbird and a handsome male Lazuli Bunting.

Very cool. Quandry is a 14'er. I've been next door and done Atlantic (and tried to do Pacific) which are high 13'ers, and look forward to doing Quandry. Pretty incredible that we get to see Mountain Goats like this, in the wild.

Hot and dry in Wyoming last week. Not many prairie dogs.
