May these click beetle larva destroy many, many bark beetles during their larval stage...mwuahahahaha.<br /><br />Birding in a recently burned forest is very interesting. The biodiversity is maybe lower than normal, but there' more clearance and light than usual, so whatever is around is often more visible than usual. Still, you can sense the loss. The woods are more quiet and everything seems to move slower than it should, as if the forest is still in a state a mourning. <br /><br />Black-backed Woodpeckers are such neat birds. Though their specialization in burned woods renders them a less populous species, it's still special. I wish they came down to Arizona; we could've used them in the bark beetle war along the Mogollon Rim these last 10 years.<br /><br />Thanks for sharingLaurence Butlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14766876797454283812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2117687474279133279.post-31890305689736391572012-07-07T09:14:07.658-07:002012-07-07T09:14:07.658-07:00Thanks the recollections.

I also get the feeling that these mountains are no stranger to fire.Maxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18037151652023799197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2117687474279133279.post-40067568026502426442012-07-07T07:19:42.434-07:002012-07-07T07:19:42.434-07:00Nice photographs.

Black Butte has burned many times, but some of the ponderosa pines always seem to survive. <br />I also remember when Black Butte Ranch was a real, working ranch. Bend was around 9K population when I graduated high school, I went back last summer and literally didn't recognize most of the city.<br />Thanks for the memories. <br />Cheers,<br />MikeShould Fish Morehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18400586203204886095noreply@blogger.com
