ON SUNDAY WE WENT FOR ANOTHER ATV RIDE-PART ONE


As we were going past the Twin Lakes Golf Course, Aileen spotted this female coyote.

She didn't take off running but did keep moving most of the time.  

She appears to be still nursing.

After we got up in the hills, we found a nice spot to enjoy our lunch.

Bullock's Oriole.

I was sitting on a log watching the river flow by when I felt something crawling up my leg.  I waited until it got into better view before taking some photos.

It was a Giant Stonefly, well over two inches long.  After a bit, he flew away.
