Can you find the bird on the tree? It's right below the knot on the left aspen. The knot looks a bit like an eye. It's a woodpecker. At first its head was in a hole.
I was looking for a mountain bluebird, but they eluded my camera today. I thought I saw a couple of them in flight.
Here is a crow in the horse pasture. And below is a robin.
I am on the ranch in Idaho this week. Will be posting some new artwork from my Idaho studio on the ranch.
There is a lot of wildlife around. On a quick stroll, I saw flocks of birds, antelope, and deer, along with the pet cats, dogs, horses, and the cows (all have babies right now).
The sky is so big up in the mountains, the moon shines during blue skies.
Mountain lupine. This is what the Karner Blue butterflies must have to survive. (I posted a painting of one on the blog a couple days ago.)
I posted a video yesterday of my time at Fullersburg Woods in Oak Brook, IL.
I got a treat when I saw the rare ruby-crowned kinglet. The male kinglet himself is not rare here this time of year. But showing his ruby "crown" is more rare.
I also saw sparrows, warblers, thrush, northern flickers, American robins, doves, and mallard ducks.
The creek was swollen with water and it was cool and calm outside.
Leaving Montana I came across some big horn sheep. This one has an amazing set of horns!
They were getting a drink in the river then crossed the highway.
