I often hear sandhill cranes while fishing. Yesterday we got lucky to get close to them and some other birds while showing some friends our favorite paddling lake. I knew they were loud, but when this close, you get a whole new appreciation for their vocal abilities.

Thanks. Backup 12 on the way!

had a new to me species pose on my cooler last week - pacific forktail I believe. Love that they let you put a camera 2 inches from their face

A few favorites from our North Cascades trip

I have never seen one. Will be driving up to NCNP from Bend (through PDX) on Sunday. Anywhere to see this spectacle with a shortish detour off of I5? Or too early?

a whole family of them - it was later in the year

Nice report and pics. Probably won't work for your wife, but check out Grosvenor (same ownership) if you want access to some less frequented water and lakers on poppers out front in the evening.

Had a lunch guest on the lake today. He was perched on my shoulder. The one of the abdomen and wings was an attempt at a profile - couldn't see the screen. Didn't get the head, but kind of a cool pattern in its wings. I love how the tail ended up on its back in the 4th and 5th images...

From a couple years ago but I like it enough that it is my computer background

very cool shot of the bugs on your net - can't wait to get out there!

I love the possibility of catching something new in the salt. Nice fish. I thought the inside of their mouths were blue. Is this not a cabazon? Sorry the first pick isn't great.

Hate it when this happens

Just crazy to me that these little bugs catch big fish.

Thanks for the ideas! Croatia is near the top of our list. Might have to stay in the region for a while.

Don't let yourself go as you get older! My cautionary tale to you younger folks: I have always been fairly active and fit but fragile. I was easily injured in my competitive sports days - basketball and track. A few years ago I was actually in really good shape from road cycling and a little...

A bit smaller than what I typically fish, but a friend recently demonstrated the power of small. I did trim the flash a bit shorter after I saw the pic.

albacore tuna poke and smoked steelhead are easy no cook proteins

Guessing no. The triggering on the trailcam is less than reliable.

stud marmot and stud mulie. This guy has been around for a while. Very distinctive Roman nose.
