Up in the mountains, there is still plenty of snow.
Mill Creek runs all through the winter.
Many of the fields are blown open and early migrants take advantage of the grass.
Trumpeter Swans and Canada Geese stop to rest.
House Finches have returned from wherever they spent the winter.
That goes for the Dark-eyed Junco too.
A sure sign of Spring, Red-winged Blackbirds.
American Goldfinch
Red-shafted Flicker digs through the snow to hopefully find a worm.
Our local deer herd.
Red-tailed Hawk
Red-tailed Hawk juvenile
Three juvenile Bald Eagles interact - two lock talons and spin downward.
Second year Bald Eagle with ground squirrel attracts Ravens
Elk herd on the ridge.
Another Bald Eagle story
Adult perches on utility pole with a ground squirrel
Getting harassed by Raven, eagle scolds
Time for a bite or two
Here comes trouble, juvenile wants to steal lunch
In hot persuit....
Adult gets away with quarry
Coyote runs quickly up the hill from the road.
Aah! Safe at last - a look back.
Snow in Livingston is all gone but it is probably not the last of it.
Coming to the end of our first winter in the north and it went pretty fast.
Looking forward to Spring migration.
❤️ LOVE & PRAYERS 🙏🏽
