July 15, 2022 I’ve recently returned from soaking in isolation at the East Fork of the Black River near Alpine, Arizona, a forested place of steep volcanic talus and blue spruce, of lichen-draped fir and basalt, of knee-deep ferns and raspberry where you can smell the cauliflower mushrooms growing to the size of your head.
I love that I can see juvenile Green-tailed Towhees along the Black River (as well as Dippers). I have the towhees all winter but had never seen a juvenile until hiking along the Thompson Trail.
I love this and I love that you had this time away. Great conservation story there too!
