Black Canyon (Umtanum Ridge)

May 10,2015
Lots of great birds. Lewis woodpeckers, Golden Eagle, Rock Wren, Kestrals, Bollock's Oriole, Western Tananger, Black Headed Grosbeak, Lazuli Bunting. Coming back down the trail 2 rattle snakes. The Bitterroot is in bloom on the ridge top. The weather was perfect, low cloud cover up with a cool breeze and the sun coming out to warm us on the way down. The turn from Wenas Rd. Onto the Black Canyon Rd can be easy to miss. Pay close attention for it.
