    Flycatcher in WY, USA

    Flycatchers are my nemesis when it comes to IDing them and migration season just makes it worse. These were taken near Casper, WY the last weekend of August. Merlin's sound id says it heard both Gray Flycatchers and Western Wood-Pewees in the area.

    Golden Eagle, Lamar Valley, Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming, USA

    A pair of Golden Eagles was sitting in a dead tree about 75 m uphill from the road where the road exited the Lamar Valley northeastward. The long distance strained the capacity of my telephoto lens, so the image had to be severely cropped to produce the uploaded photo.

    Black-billed Magpie YELL-WINT SER

    This bird was hanging around the Wraith Falls Picnic Area, possibly to find some human left-overs, but there were very few human picnickers in mid-winter, so pickings were slim.
