HERMIT THRUSH DUO, with WESTERN GRAY SQUIRREL VII.10,2019 Wallowas, OREGON

IMAGE: The happy yellow school bus of WALLOWA LLAMAS, transporting animals &wilderness hikers into the highcountry. At 1200 meters. They still have another 750 meters to climb. NOTE how dry it is here at a place called CAMAS OVERLOOK. Vernal snowmelt, Arrowleaf & Hooker’s Balsamroot, Dersert Lomatiums, White Mulesears, & Camas Lilies have now all contructed back to their roots, without a trace. You would not find HERMIT THRUSHES here. Our DUO was recorded 200 meters, or what I call 2 degrees of climate, higher up, in closed canopy oldgrowth Ponderosa Pine & Doug-fir forest.
