Awesome shot, bro. I knew that trip would be worth it. It was a fun hike in any case.

I love how you present these images! The second one is my favorite with the green grasses and then the snow covered mountains. Breathtaking!

This landscape is one of many moods, all of which are spectacular. You have captured a beautiful, tranquil but expansive moment in this special place.

Great shots, Hank! I especially like the soft red background for the western bluebird.

Re: California ground squirrels poisoned

Greetings,
You are right, poisons are not the safe way. On another note, the CA ground squirrel is a problem for our wildlife and landscapes. Here's a great article: http://www.ipm.ucdavis.edu/PMG...
We have been dealing with ground squirrels here in San Diego co. that are predating all bird nests, not just ground nests. They also mob our CA gray squirrels, all the snakes & descimate meadows with their burrows. In our desert, they have displaced our birds, our antelope & golden-mantled ground squirrels. They are supposed to be limited to the coastal habitats. Instead, due to developement (this includes campgrounds) this animal has been dispersed into every place, except apparently Owen's valley.

Hank, I love the "Sierra wave!" The irises with backdrop of Sierras are great. Definitely worth the long drive.

Re: Crater Lake National Park

One of the park's most outstanding features is its 33 mile "Rim Drive" which provides spectacular views of the lake and the surrounding cliffs and mountains as it completely circles the lake. The road, which is open for only a few months in the later summer because of the enormous amount of snow which accumulates on the rim during the winter, provides access to the lake for virtually every visitor. http://www.wildlifeworld360.co...

Re: White-tailed Kite Attack

We have a breeding pair of kites that moved in to nearby territory formerly held by a family of red shouldered hawks. The kites dive bomb the younger pair of hawks, who mostly ignore them when they are sitting on branches. It's much more exciting than watching smaller birds trying to chase away the hawks. Great shots of the aerial action.

I'll have to try some of these moves, although it will take a few more yoga sessions to get my head bent back that far.

Poisoning anywhere is abhorrent, but poisoning near the bayfront doesn't sound like a very smart idea ecologically speaking.
