Met this guy in the woods yesterday... no bears encounter yet but lots of Pacific Wren... some vocal too.

A Pacific Wren at Kathryn Albertson Park in Boise, Idaho

"Pacific Wrens are tiny brown wrens with a song much larger than themselves. One researcher deemed them a “pinnacle of song complexity.” This tinkling, bubbly songster is more often heard than seen within the dark understory of old-growth evergreen forests where they live. When Pacific Wrens sing they hold their tail upright and their entire body shakes with sound. They move like mice through the forest understory, hopping along logs and upturned roots."

(Gavia pacifica)

The Pacific Brown Pelican differs a bit in color from the mature brown pelicans on the Atlantic coast. The PBP's pouch is multi-colored--green with red instead of a singular brown. The eye of the PBP is a pale blue vs. brown. The PBP's silvery streaking on the feathering is also visible on this bird.

Photographed on rock island near La Paz.

Near Chinook Pass, Washington.

Union Pacific SD70ACe #8518 displays the larger herald on the nose and also larger US flag next to the engine numbers than what was picked for the final version of their new lettering scheme.

It is seen heading Westbound on the N. Fork Branch at Bridgeport, CO with a loaded coal train that is heading out to Trona, CA.

This over-stayer seems to have decided to stay for good in Singapore

Looking south towards Seal Point at the end of the Kaikoura peninsula. The walk along the cliffs gave some fabulous views to the intriguing beach scape below.

From evidence on his beak and red eyes, he had obviously been hitting the grass pretty hard, but as long as he's not doing quack
