Bitterroot Sunset

The Lee Metcalf National Wildlife Refuge is bordered on the west by the Bitterroot River, and then the Bitterroot Mountains. Last night we took a walk down to the river. On the way, we saw deer, and walked upon two Great Horned Owls sitting on low branches. I managed to get a picture of one of these before he took flight. These are my favorite birds. They are great predators and beautiful to observe.

We have a fire burning near us in the Bitterroot Mountains. We watched the sunset through the smoke as it set behind the mountain. Great, cool evenings here !
