It has been a busy spring, so I have fallen behind on my blog. I have been busy with a lot of non photography related things, so I have not had a lot to post. I did finally get out a couple times before and around the Memorial Day holiday weekend. I have been hoping to find some young of the year from various species but I have not had a lot of luck this spring. I don’t know if the weather has had an effect on that, or if I have just had bad timing when I have been out. Most of these are from two sessions. One afternoon was very chilly after we had a late spring snow storm. The other was from about a week later on a warm evening. It’s amazing what a difference a week in Montana makes. Despite the tough conditions during the cold evening I still managed to get a few pictures, so I wanted to share some of those with you along with the others a little while later.

A very cold puffed up Barn Swallow.
I decided to embrace the low contrast conditions and exaggerate that with this Red-winged Blackbird.
