MerryLynn and I took advantage of the beautiful fall weather today to visit the mountains before hunting season is in full swing. We drove up Lewis Peak Road and circled around down Jasper Mountain Road. Highlights on Jasper Mountain included a northern goshawk,a hairy woodpecker, mountain and chestnut-backed chickadees, red-breasted nuthatches, golden crowned and ruby crowned kinglets, juncos, flickers and yellow-rumped warblers. On Jasper Mountain we found western bluebirds, pygmy nuthatches, a golden-crowned sparrow, and a golden eagle, along with spotted towhees, chipping and white-crowned sparrows, robins and more kinglets, yellow-rumped warblers and chickadees. It was nice to enjoy the beauty of the mountains one more time. Ginger
