I walked up the West Fork of Mink Creek Trail on Caribou National Forest on
a beautiful, sunny morning Saturday. Three pine grosbeaks were the bird
highlight of the walk. There were almost as many red-breasted nuthatches as
mountain chickadees and pine siskins were all over the place. A few
Cassin’s finches and red crossbills flew over. The non-bird highlight was a
yearling moose about 50′ away.
