Spotted Towhee Bathing

Here’s another series of images from Baldwin Spring. This Spotted Towhee came in for a bath. It was quite energetic.

Spotted Towhee taking a look around to make sure it is safe.
Now he is getting his wings going.
Full motion. His beak looks like an eye now.
I am always telling people how far I can see from my campsite (astronomy distances don’t count but that would be about 2.5 million light years with the unaided eye). On a clear day, the Laramie Mountains are visible on the horizon. I have never bothered to check how far that is, but yesterday was one of those very clear days so I took a photo. Then I used Google Maps to determine that it is about 150 miles. Laramie Peak is the highest point in the Laramie Mountains with an elevation of 10,272 feet. The ridge in the foreground with the dead trees on it is part of the Elk Mountains, about 15 miles from camp. Taken at 400mm focal length.
