Yeah, I gotta get back to Bannack! Holy cow, the bluebirds are *gorgeous*, Dave! Now that I know a little about my settings, I can't WAIT to get up above 6,000 feet again--not tough when I live at well over 3,000 :). Mountain bluebirds...oh, how I covet a clear photo of a mountain bluebird! And one of my neighbors just offered the use of a tent, pretty much the only serious camping equipment we were missing...Bannack in May is looking better & better! It's a shame we're all so scattered; a several-day 'birding party' at the gorgeous camping area there would be amazing, and rates are something like $15 a night if you're from out of state. Outhouses, grills, parking spaces, no power or running water, ghost town on site (pic below), creek on site provides *awesome* reed & brush backgrounds for bird shots as do the sagebrush-on-stony-soil low hills.
