The GYE isn't particularly birdy by Cape May standards, but it is the west, and species like Black-billed Magpies, Brewer's Sparrows (which I've been studying for the day one shows up at the Meadows) and Townsend's Solitaires are routine, and are spiced with some special birds such as Dusky Blue Grouse, a member of the recent split of Blue Grouse (the other new species is Sooty Blue Grouse, of the Pacific Northwest).

We met our group tonight - fun people, several of whom have traveled with NJAS before. I asked if anyone was hoping for anything in particular on this tour. The answer came loud and clear: "Wolves. Grizzly bears. Moose." Thankfully, one person named Old Faithful as being on her want list - that one, I think, we can guarantee!
