    I think this is the same cow-calf pair I saw and posted on June 19 but the calf has grown and it's coat is darker.

    At 6:10 a.m. I found them chomping on the fireweed and had to ask them to move on, and they did. Fireweed is an important pollinator flower throughout the western mountains to northern Alaska. The moose returned this evening to the hummingbird flower meadow and I gently urged them to move out to the raspberries. They can have all the raspberry. mountain maple, alder and aspen leaves they want but stay away from the hummer flowers!

    Earlier this evening we saw another cow-calf pair up the road and the calf was larger and almost as dark as the cow.

    Here are a few pics from the last couple days. The American Dipper is America's only aquatic songbird. It dives into rushing mountain streams to catch aquatic insects and small fish. In the last century I developed a nesting box for dippers and have placed them on streams around the state. This one is in front of our cabin and can be seen from the kitchen-dining room. Yesterday the first two of four young fledged from the nest. This morning the last two fledged, dropping directly into the river and swimming to a rocky island shore. What a joy to We had a group of folks watching and photographing them today.

    Also pics of mama and baby pine squirrels, and male Rufous and Broad-tailed Hummingbirds.

    Here's something ya don't see every day... A tiny, baby frog trying to make a meal out of a fresh, juicy maggot. The frog could easily be covered by a dime. He's really little. It looked like he was trying to bite the maggot but couldn't quite manage. He dragged it WAY over to the hose...about an inch...and decided maybe he wasn't that hungry.
