It's mostly birds, starting where I left off at the hummingbird portrait 
'studio' in my yard

I visited the marshes of Sierra Valley, north of Truckee California where I 
found a muskrat

and numerous Yellow-headed Blackbirds

Nearby is Yuba Pass with a Wilson's Warbler

also Kyburz Flat with a pair of Mountain Bluebirds, Mountain Chickadees and 
a Yellow-rumped Warbler

More recently I visited an obscure spot in El Dorado County where the 
Calliope Hummingbird has been very reliable for several years; found a few 
other birds there too.
