Some pics of my hiking partner. She picked up a scent and complained until I let her lead me to these prints. We crossed a small meadow from one trail to another and she lead me right to these. Pretty sure just moose tracks. Reba was mad that I wouldn't follow them.

Spent some time visiting with the folks who own general store/Christmas store/tourist stop in Gould. They had a bunch of humming bird feeders with at least 4 different varieties of humming birds feeding.

I could watch those birds all day.

It's Bigfoot!


Probably a good thing you didn't let her go. My cousin's dogs chased after Bigfoot and one of them got kicked and stomped. She's still hurtin' a month later. Could have killed her.

Reba is a beautiful dog.

The local mountain Broad-tailed and lowland Black-chinned Hummingbirds are abundant but the migrant Rufous and Calliope Hummingbirds are very scarce this year. I just returned from banding 217 birds in Sedona, mostly Black-chinned and Anna's, a few Rufous and only one Broad-tailed. No Calliope or Costa's this year but I did see a Rivoli's (Magnificent) Hummingbird. It's a strange year....

Here, too. Our first Rufous showed up either the last day or two of Feb or first of Mar. Didn't hang around long.
