I also learned that a Woodcock's body is somewhat colored like, and resembles a "Yam Flute". A Snipes body is more slender . . . unless you're talkin' bout these Snipes

I don’t know the species of this one but it is cool.

Yes that is my learning...woodcock in heavy timber , snipe along water in tall grass.

There is a bird that makes a wonderful willowy sound when flying in display along the wetland. I loved hearing them . I think it was snipe displaying in air. Many years ago I head that sound. Miss hearing all this.

I love the sound of night hawks in air at dusk too .

I had a nighthawk swoop down and "drum" me in total darkness one night. Not knowing what it was at the time, it scared the heck out of me.
It sounds like an alien ship coming in on you. (I am not talking about the '57 Chevy driving aliens. I ain't scurrd of them.)

A few pictures from our camping and wheeler riding trip at Murray Idaho last weekend.

4.5 year old.

Just an OLD doe we call granny. She’s on the “No Kill” list and has been for a couple of years. Best I can tell is she’s between 8-10 years old. Really needs to go as she hasn’t produced any fawns in the last few years, but I like watching her and the manager agreed.

Just a momma and her fawn…

One I took last September in my back yard. Very interesting and beautiful plant. Can you ID it?

lycoris radiata

Red Spider LIly.

Yep, also known as Hurricane Lily. They sprout up almost overnight and do not last very long.
