As mentioned previously, our yard has become a regular hunting ground for an energetic robin. We see her getting worms and other small things for a likely nest somewhere nearby.

Mallards fly-by
The rural robin

Top of the pass visitor
While switching engines at White Pass on the Alaska-Yukon Territory border in May, we were entertained by this visitor walking toward us on the snow.
I found later that this is probably a white-tailed ptarmigan or snow grouse?
Mallard Convoy
A family of mallards chose to skoot away from us when we came upon them in an inlet on a nearby pond.
Someone’s looking at me
Ever get the feeling that someone is looking at you? We came upon this barred owl on our local trail. We spotted him ahead of us flying from the ground up to this tree branch. He then sat there until we got too close and he flew off.
