  2. Second Nate's emotion, except without all the coarse, offensive, and inappropriate language. Gorgeous landscapes and sweet birds too. the Horned Lark shots is especially ticklesome.

  4. Gorgeous landscapes in this post and awesome bird finds...I think the red flower is a poppy! I'm not certain on the blue ones maybe blue flax! Just guess on both tho! Love your horned lark shot...and the pooches on the rock what a family portrait!! Im heading out of town for a week starting Saturday I hope to bag a good Big Day!

  6. The blue flower is wild blue flax, at least in S Dakota. The yellow flower after the dogs is goatsbeard or yellow salsify. It will have a huge seed "ball" like a giant dandelion after flowering. Anyway, very very nice post!

  7. GREAT shots, jeepers. Your landscape shots are STUNNING, and love the one with mutts. =)

    Pretty sure I took Amtrak through there once--BEAUTIFUL area. The poppies look kinda like a Calochortus (genus) to me, tho all the Calochortus I can find photos of have 3 petals, not 4, and the Papaver seem to have MORE than 4 & they overlap, so basically I'm not helping. =) GORgeous, though.

    And I DO love a western kingbird. Man.
