Red-breasted Nuthatches were very common and friendly in the forest above 10,000 feet on Sunday morning. Several landed right next to me as they passed through the area feeding.
Yellow-headed Blackbirds got to Comins Lake just a little before I did this year. Here the sunset lights up a male near the lake.
Bushtits act like and hang out with Ruby-crowned Kinglets, combing the shrubs along Cleve Creek. It is very hard to get one to sit still for a photo.
Nestling Horned Larks beg for food out in the valley.
Again this year I spotted an Osprey in Spring Valley. Must be passing on through...
A Pied-billed Grebe patrols his part of the marsh at Comins Lake.
Marsh Wrens will sing incessantly from deep inside the bulrushes. This guy stepped out into the open for a brief second.
Western Meadowlarks didn't seem to prefer the open valley, instead they were usually on the edge of the valley where there were scattered trees.
