10,000 Birds

SEPTEMBER 26, 2018

Our little adventure now moves us farther north, into Idaho’s Teton Valley area, and a visit to Jackson, Wyoming. The areas around this beautiful river, full of both fly-fishermen, and moose, provided nothing more than the usual Brewer’s Blackbirds, Osprey, Mallards Ducks , and a few Yellow-rumped Warblers.

With Wyoming and South Dakota in our rear view mirror, we look toward Colorado, and a hot spot I have been anxious to visit. One morning, I woke up to see a White-breasted Nuthatch in the tree right behind our 5th wheel, but before I could get out there with my camera, it was gone, never to see seen in the next three days.

I soon found that this bird world is one with its own logic, rules, and ethics, a place with its own language and literature, its own art and history, its heroes and a few heroines. I felt like an explorer who had landed on a distant continent, or more rightly a pilgrim who had arrived, after years of walking, at Compostela.”
