my last outing (Aug 27) in the Pac NW was to go look for White-tailed Ptarmigan up around Sunrise in Mount Rainier NP.


We got up into suitable habitat, and the weather was superb, but the little blighters gave us the slip.




I ran into another local birder who was up there looking for them too and he also got skunked after 3 hours of off-trail searching. He said he usually finds them on only 1 out of every 3 trips, so I didn't feel so bad (and I've seen them in the Rockies anyways).

There were some birds around, plenty of Horned Larks, American Pipits, and Ravens. Had a small flock of Gray-crowned Rosy Finches fly over, and any little clump of trees or bushes had something lurking in them like American Robin, Mountain Bluebird, Yellow-rumped, or Orange-crowned Warbler. Heard a Rock Wren out by the Freemont fire tower which I guess is pretty rare on the west slope of the Cascades.

Back in the sagebrush again. Trying to get photos of Sagebrush Sparrow but they're tough. Barely getting looks in the binos. These photos are from Monday when there was smoke from the Rough fire all the way up here in the Carson Valley. Nice and windy now and not so smoky.

Bob, seems like I'm seeing a similar set of birds to what you're finding. Saw all three of the ones you show above, but couldn't get any shots. Keep it comin', and thanks to all.









EDIT: No, Reilly, you're joking right? take the drabest little sparrow and divide it into something you can only separate by song? God help us.

NICE, y'all!!!!

Little Z, you up on the latest 'splitting' in the Brewers' world based on song?

I awoke in the wee hours last night (so that's why they're called that?) to a freaking cacophony outside.
There were three GHO's hooting it up like there was no tomorrow night.
I almost yelled out the window for some peace and quiet, almost.
