The catkins of the birch are the first to make a late spring appearance this year, edging out the maples who are following closely behind, these generally the first two trees to flower. And yes, some are surprised to find that all trees "flower" though not in the more commonly interpreted and traditional sense of the word. With the very late spring, one gets a distinct sense of a great energy just waiting to explode in both flora and fauna. While the lake is very slow to thaw, the snow is gone, and everything is rejoicing with the warmth of the sun.
The wetlands have opened up and the remarkable sandhill cranes have returned...based on their calling, in greater numbers than ever. I first actually saw them last year and have been looking again the last few days unsuccessfully. But their calls are unmistakable, remarkably and startlingly loud, and echo across the lake often during the course of the day. Here's a sample, tho there is no way this adequately conveys the actual volume... www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Sandhill_Crane/sounds
So along with the myriad of loon calls which can be heard throughout the night, the area is blessed with some of the more dramatic avian vocalizations to be heard in addition to the trilling of the songbirds.
Dawn yesterday morning at Mt Clear in the Namadgi NP. My helpful assistant was up with me watching the sunrise. This is a three frame HDR ... I took another couple of series of the sunrise (as you do...) but I really liked this one with my assistant in frame ... it lends a sense of scale to the place ...that's him in the colourful beanie in lower left ;-) ... it was a superb day too :-)

Major decisions by Travis Berridge and Luke Wilson powered the Gold team to a 14-6 victory over the Green squad in Cal Poly wrestling's annual intrasquad meet on a warm and sunny Friday afternoon in the University Union plaza.
Berridge scored a 15-4 major decision over Ryan Anderson at 174 pounds, notching five takedowns, a two-point near fall and a reversal along with riding time.
Wilson wrestling in his first match as a Mustang after battling injuries for three years, earned a 13-5 major decision against Joe Granger at 165 pounds. Wilson, a Righetti High School graduate, recorded four takedowns, a reversal and an escape plus riding time for the win.
Wilson's final takedown with seven seconds left sealed the victory.
Also winning for the Gold team were Ty Schilling at 133 pounds and Glenn Farina at 141.
Trailing 2-0 after two periods, Schilling earned an escape and two takedowns for a 5-3 win over Yoshito Funakoshi while Farina scored two first-period takedowns on his way to an 8-5 triumph over Curtis Booth.
Victories for the Green squad were posted by Joshy Cortez at 149 pounds and Thomas Lane at 184.
Cortez notched an escape to start the second period and rode out Jason DeLaCruz in the final period for riding time and a 2-0 victory while Lane tallied an escape and penalty point in the first period, a takedown in the second period and a pair of escapes in the final period for a 6-5 win over Sohrab Movahedi.

Hallo zusammen
Es ist immer schön wenn man die ersten Mantis findet. So früh wie dieses Jahr habe ich in meinem Revier noch nie welche entdeckt, normalerweise kann ich Ende Juli mit den ersten, noch kleinen, Tieren rechnen.
The first Mantis 2018
Hello everyone
It's always nice to find the first mantis. As early as this year I have never discovered any in my area, normally I can count on the first, still small, animals at the end of July.

Shortly after arriving at Yellowstone and setting up our tent, we hopped in the car to see what we could see. A few minutes later, we pulled over on a little side-road and were greeted by our first hot springs of the trip. The remarkable part was that even though the park was quite crowded, there was not another person/car around at this first stop.
It was an unnamed hot spring with no official parking lot. It had the steaming water, the sulfur smell, the hot ground nearby and the beautiful clarity... it even had a fence to prevent you from getting too close. But this national park was full of so many other incredible sites and features... that little ones like this were easy to just pass over.
