The Trip:
Beautiful summer day, windy but not too bad ... we went to Timberline looking for wildflowers but found very very few ... just too early in the snow melt season ... bird-wise was hoping to get the Cassin's Finch and the Gray-crowned Rosy-Finch ... SUCCESS !!! ... and the surprise was getting a THIRD NEW PHOTO BIRD - the Townsend's Solitaire ...
