In an incredibly fortunate year for new bees! This time another green bee in my own county! Spotted this Sweat Bee as I was coming home! These flowers are in my front porch! Fine Striped Sweat Bee📷🌿🐝

I hike many miles I’m not one to take lots of gear or equipment Most of the time I’m only carrying my telephoto (840mm equiv) and binoculars (not shown) When I know I have opportunities for landscape and portraits of trees, structures, etc… I carry along a 50mmF2 and a 15mmF4.5 #birdinggear 📷

More than 300 species of birds have been observed in the Mono Basin's varied habitats, from the highest elevations at the Sierra crest all the way down to Mono Lake. These great photos show four species at the lakeshore: Green-tailed Towhee, Violet-green Swallow, Osprey, and California Gull.
