Brewer’s Blackbirds and House Finches were carting nesting material to and fro. Things were quiet at first as I headed upwards, until I startled two Mule Deer. Almost immediately I was besieged by the songs of Yellow Warblers , Black-capped Chickadees , and Song Sparrows , all engaged in vigorous staking-out of territory.

Yellow-headed Blackbirds, Red-winged Blackbirds, Brewers Blackbirds, Marsh Wrens , And Common Yellowthroats were incredibly plentiful. In addition to the birds, we saw Mule Deer, Beaver, Muskrat , and Mink. Then, the icing on the cake came, when one actually landed right in front of me! Now that is a first.

Mule Deer have always been pretty common in this area, but I got quite a surprise when I cleared a small hill in the road, and nearly ran over a male Pronghorn Antelope , right in the middle of the road. In a 3 mile stretch of grassland, with sprinklers flowing, I counted well over 100 of these dark birds. It was good to be back!
