Sooo good I don’t see many of these, only one or two a year. Must have been a big thrill

Brewer’s sparrow, the bird with no field marks. Or: the mark is no mark at all. My lifer! I saw sooo many of these sweet lil passerellids in Wyoming last week Denizen of sage and spruce. Friendly, unassuming, modest, perfectly happy to just be part of the high altitude landscape #birds

Brewer’s sparrow perched on a conifer, body facing left, head turned to the right. Light colored breast and flanks, gray-brown wings and tail and head, small and short triangular bill, dark eye. A remarkably plain bird, small, sincere, not demanding anything of anyone

When the police arrived their lights and the voices scared the bear back out through the window They chased him across the north fork of the Little Laramie River and that’s the last we saw of the furry faced rapscallion

Thanks! Me too. Once we got the door shit and locked I was no longer afraid, just perplexed about next steps

Thanks Kelly. It was a night to remember

Yes! This is why we left the next day and stayed in a hotel

The cops said they had never had a call like this and there was a lot of competition among the officers because they all wanted it

We have other pictures too but the nose print is the pièce de résistance

Paul Wallace @paulmwall.bsky.social · 18/08/2026

Haha we closed and locked our bedroom door and then after we calmed down we were like ok what do we do How long will this go on we wondered Moments of quiet followed by crashes Eventually called 911 and it took the cops 45 min to get there and the bear continued to rummage until they showed up

The noise was so alarming. Total chaos. The kitchen was absolutely glazed in peanut butter

We were asleep at 220am in our backwoods wyoming cabin when a black bear climbed through the window over the sink and ate all our food including our peanut butter and broke a lot of dishes and the coffeemaker carrafe and here is a peanut butter bear nose print on a pan lid that somehow did not break

A lid for a cooking pan with a bear nose print on it. The print is made of peanut butter

Yes. I told myself that not having a camera would make me a keener observer, and this is in fact true, but I’d be lying if I said that this makes up for not having good shots of the Canada Jay, the rock wren, the swainson’s hawk, the Townsend’s warbler, the Clark’s nutcracker, the western tanagers…

Welp my long lens crapped out on me on day 3 of a 12-day trip to Wyoming but before it did it helped me get this shot of my LIFER! green tailed towhee This sweet lil bird happens to be a junior edition of that particular species #birds

Juvenile green-tailed towhee, standing on a log, facing left. This bird’s mostly gray head and body are mildly floofed out. A faint yellow wash covers his flanks and lower belly and his wings are dark gray edged in yellow-green. The long tail has the same characteristics. He has a soft brown eye and a heavy light-colored triangular beak just barely opened. The background is unfocused brown and green.

Thanks Glen! I took it through lots of layers of brush and I’m amazed that it came out at all. Serendipity!
