After visiting the National Historic Trails Interpretive Center and Fort Caspar on July 11, 2010. we continued on to Pathfinder Reservoir, where we set up camp right on the shore.
In the midst of the heavy rustling of cottonwood leaves and the lapping of waves on the shore, a twittering and chittering could be heard. At first it seemed to be just a part of the background of the windy day at Wyoming’s Pathfinder Reservoir. On investigation, though, it turned to be an upset female Bullock’s Oriole.
Blast from the Past!

Her mate seemed to be busy flying back and forth and searching for food.
These were the only Bullock’s Orioles we saw on the whole trip.
