The birds are silent, the vegetation analysis and data entry are almost done, and I will be leaving Sheldon in a week. Next I am headed to Glacier, Montana, to live in another cabin without electricity and work on a bull trout study. Here are a few more sheldon pictures. My nighthawk eggs hatched, and the baby nighthawks look absurd, just little balls of fluff with no discernable heads or wings.
Last day off, Michelle and I hiked up to a backcountry lake in the Warner Mountains. The Warners are beautiful, but their distance from major cities and lack of excessively craggy peaks makes them virtually unknown, and we had the trail to ourselves.
The Mule's Ears that grow in the mountains have enormous leaves.
Evening on Badger Mountain, with Great Basin wild rye (ELCI) in the foreground.

Is that New Year Lake?
Patterson Lake, somewhere around 9,000 feet... and very cold.
