Richard, Very nice photos of the birds on your trip out West. My favorite was the one of the Calliope Hummingbird. Congratulations on all of the new lifebirds.

As it was a vacation, time available for dedicated birding was minimal (out voted in most instances 3 to 1 by the non-birders). Nonetheless, I garnered over 130 species, inclusive of 37 life birds. Photos of many of the birds may be viewed on my website at: http://www.pbase.com/rkretz/recent_bird_photos. Below is a list of what were some of the more interesting birds seen. Enjoy the birds...
