The Forests North of Burns
We drove through some of the most scenic coniferous forests in the world today. Several species of pine, fir, spruce, larch, and Douglas-fir give the forests here an interesting shape. And great bird diversity. Today we had trees with three species of nuthatches and overall we saw or heard 9 species of woodpeckers. We also saw "Canada" Gray Jay, "Slate-colored" Fox Sparrow, and Clark's Nutcracker, all new to our list, now about 250 species and forms. There aren't many left for us to look for now.
