Yellow Warbler?
This jaunty fellow was trilling away on my hike in Trout Creek Canyon. And I think it might be a Yellow Warbler, but not sure. Birds should come with visible id's! Or at least come closer so that I can get a better picture so I can better identify it when I get home and pull out my Birds of Montana and Sibley's.
However, I do know this one.
This is a large raven who had established a territory along the path and was very disgruntled we had intruded and interrupted his meal he had down the slope a bit. Until you see them really close, it's hard to imagine how big a raven actually is.
But I would have loved to see who had built this little jewel. I know it was probably last year's nest, but I would liked to have seen who called this home.
There was a nest I really DIDN'T want to come in contact with. Luckily, it was well off the path.
Finally, something else winged and out and about. I think it is a Mourning Cloak.
During the hike I heard a woodpecker. I am ready for another hike on Trout Creek to add to my bird and beast count.
