Went up to our SE Oregon Steens Mts mainly for me to get in some long overdue fishing. Cookie held down the fort and harassed the campsite wildlife with her camera.
These guys are especially difficult, as they rarely range out of cover (Yellow Warbler).
A hummer, but I've no idea as to species. All knowing please chime in.
and a hummingbird moth. She spent hours waiting for one of these to make an appearance. The first was nailed by a robin before she could get to the shutter. They're about the same size, sound the same, and exhibit the same behavior as hummingbirds.
Good times, and it was about 25 degrees cooler at 8,500 ft than the heat wave (mid-90's) down at the house (4,500 ft).
Have a good one,
