Lassen is a wonderland of wildlife...

Dusky Flycatcher?

Lassen Gems ~ Part 1

There are more birds at the Lassen Volcanic National Park than I could ever get around to identifying. Everywhere you walk, there are birds twittering high up in the trees. Here are a few that held still enough for me to photograph...

Cassin's Vireo?

Dark-eyed Junco

Yellow-rumped Warbler

 And here's a critter that doesn't have wings, but he's cute all the same...

Big Dipper

This shady spot at Lassen Volcanic National Park was the perfect place to spot an American Dipper...

He was having a good ole time bee-bopping along, plunging headfirst into the moving water...

Rain Dance

Mockingbird displays sure are fun to watch...

Seeing Red

We don't have many red birds in California, so every time I see a House Finch I can't help but smile...

Camera Ready

These doves posed for me like they knew exactly which angles were their best!

Little Hummers

We have so many hummingbirds in the backyard that it's practically become a war zone! After looking closer at some photos I snapped the other day, I can see we have more than one species, too--which I couldn't be happier about! (I'm just about to hit 80 on our Big Year list!)

Anna's Hummingbird

Black-chinned Hummingbird

Rufous Hummingbird
