Montezuma pine (Pinus montezumae), late October. A large conifer native to Mexico and Central America, where it is known as ocote.
These pine seedlings are 6 months old and have been innoculated with spores of Rhizopogon salebrosus, which forms the essential mycorrhizal association with the seedlings.

Our nasty storm on January 4, 2008 snapped the tree in half about 10 feet off the ground.
The tree was not full height - it was young.

Pine Warbler (bright male)
From the "More Than Your Really Wanted To Know Department"...
Until recently [i.e., until publication in 2011 of the "52nd Supplement to the American Ornithologists' Union Check-list of North American Birds" in The Auk 128(3):600-613], the Pine Warbler's Latin name was Dendroica pinus. Based largely on recent analyses of mitochondrial and nuclear DNA, the genus Dendroica, as we knew it, is no more. As noted on page 608 of the referenced publication:
"Under the heading Genus SETOPHAGA Swainson, insert the following:
Notes.—Phylogenetic analyses of sequences of mitochondrial and nuclear DNA (Lovette et al. 2010) indicate that all species formerly placed in Dendroica, one species formerly placed in Wilsonia (citrina), and two species formerly placed in Parula (americana and pitiayumi) form a clade with the single species traditionally placed in Setophaga (ruticilla). The generic name Setophaga has priority for this clade."
So, it seems our familiar Pine Warbler (formerly Dendroica pinus) is now officially treated as Setophaga pinus. Of course, I'm assuming everyone on the receiving end of this is as keenly interested in the recent taxonomic turn as am I. Yeah, right! Whatever, it's still a Pine Warbler.
Limber pine is very common in the Big Snowy Mountains especially on the exposed rocky ridges. It is also sporadic among the dense stands of Engelmann spruce (Picea engelmannii) and Douglas fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii). Whitebark pine (Pinus albicaulis) was not found in the area of the Big Snowy Mountains. The dry lake bed of Crystal Lake lies in the center background. Limber pine was genetically identified here using chloroplast DNA markers.
