Come heaven or high water in southern Idaho

 Sunday, May 21 – Thursday, May 24

Our camp at Lud Drexler Campground, Salmon Creek Falls Reservoir, Idaho ($5 regular/$2.50 with senior discount)

“Aw, you missed the boat, Reg.”  — Boat launch area at Salmon Falls Creek Reservoir

“This is where we watched the fish coming out of the truck.”

April 2015 post:  “Wow!  That’s a lotta’ fish!”

We go across the dam on our way to Cedar Creek Reservoir.

Heavenly camps a few feet from the water! . . .  Oh, no! —  mosquitoes!

“An American Avocet!”

Did you know? . . . 

“American Avocet chicks leave the nest within 24 hours after hatching. Day-old avocets can walk, swim, and even dive to escape predators.” — allaboutbirds.org

No, not a boat ramp.  High water is over the road.  A vault toilet house (to right, out of frame) is marooned!  The Perfect Tow Vehicle turns around and takes us home.

“Reggie, what’s that in the road by our house? “

~ ~ ~

“Hey!  It’s the mysterious bird that I saw in our yard yesterday!  I’m zooming in!”

~ ~ ~

Could this be a Gray Partridge?  Wow!

Did you know? . . .

“Gray Partridge hens produce some of the largest clutches of any bird species. Clutch size can range up to 22 eggs, and averages 16 to 18.” — allaboutbirds.org

While eating supper I see the sun setting beyond the clouds and run outside to capture it for you!
