3 months later: update on the beavers. All trees down. The big one was cut down by man.

Eureka, Montana and the Kootenai river.

So where is the actual Dam at then?

[KarenKW]

Todays walk. There’s a path that runs alongside the river for about 13 miles.

Ruby throated hummingbirds in a friend’s backyard

…just for perspective, nest the size of my friend’s thumb…

I didn’t have the time to have a look where they started the construction site.

Quiet Pinkham creek. As it should be

I haven’t seen the cygnet in over a week. Something must have happened to the lil guy because it was too young to be on its own. That makes me sad. I was so looking forward to it growing up.
Here’s the mom and dad, hoping they have another baby before summer is over.

Aww…… so sad. I know what you mean. We watched these 6 baby ducks in Durango one year. Then one day there was only 5 then it got down to 4. From now on we don’t count babies. Kinda hard not counting when there’s only 1. Bummer.

Hubby thinks a snapping turtle probably got em, because we’ve seen some big ones in the area at night. I honestly don’t wanna know.
I’ve seen mom back on her nest lately so that’s a good sign.

Momma Gamble and her baby gamble quail.
Way down below. Too many to count.

Omg
This momma came up with her teens just as I was writing this.

They’re so funny.

[Lisa07]

They are so precious! Nature is absolutely beautiful

[Dazercat]

And cruel

Finally got out with the camera on the weekend and spotted this stunning Juvenile Black Shouldered Kite which allowed me to approach to about 8 metres.

Beautiful pic! Fawns melt my heart. I don’t know if it’s their cute spots or wobbly legs, probably both.
