Two of us enjoyed a private trip to photograph 43 bird species despite thick fog that burned off just as we were leaving. We enjoyed time with a ruby-crowned kinglet, more wood ducks than I've ever seen in one spot, green-winged teals, canvasbacks, and 18 Wilson's snipes.

We had amazing sun breaks at West Tiger 1 for an early lunch. The changes in just four days are astounding: no snow until 500' from the summits, and crampons are only needed on the upper reaches of the mountains.
