Canada goose family by Ruth Quist!

Swan Rangers saw more natural wonders during their outings this past week!

In our lead photo, Ruth Quist swears the Canada goose family was not on the Milk River!

Ruth also shows us a maturing Bald eagle and . . .

. . . a Gumbo evening primrose!

Of this Grizzly bear sighting, Lynn Smith writes "thank goodness for 65x zooms!"

Lynn made no comment about whether this Red-naped sapsucker was too close for comfort!

Pat Jaquith helps us celebrate the common American robin with this photo of one bringing home a beak full of dragonflies!

Pat also provides us an exquisite look at Pygmy bitterroot flowers and . . .

. . . Pasqueflowers going to seed!

Pam Willison shows us some Cow parsnip, a favorite bear food, unfurling while . . .

. . . Dee Blank shows us a bear's favorite climbing tree!

Chris Gotschalk gives us a view deep into the Swan Range while . . .

. . . Fawn Simensen found a wonderful bunch of Penstemon there!

Keith Hammer says he appreciates when a bird actually holds still for a portrait, as this Cedar waxwing did!

Skip Via found these wild Columbine flowers exceptional among other yellow Columbines and . . .

. . . in our parting shot, Skip felt this sunset wasn't too bad either!

There will be no Swan Ranger report next weekend as the plants, animals and scenery take a short summer break!

If you have interesting photos of your outings, send them along with a description to keith@swanview.org and we'll try to work them into these weekly reports!
