Yellowstone! Grizzly

First shot from Yellowstone. We got here in time to go out this evening north of the park itself to a field where the Grizzlies come out at dusk to feed on caraway roots. We saw 7, three adults and 4 cubs. They were way too far away and in very challenging light, so this is the best I could do.

Maine! Red-bellied

Red-bellied Woodpecker: York County Maine, USA, September 2024 — We have watched this immature Red-bellied Woodpecker “color up” over the past few months. When it first appeared at the feeders it was pale on pale, with just alight grey patch where the red is now coming in. Hard to tell it from the adult now…but the adult rarely comes to the feeders and the immature has been regular.
