The Essen Wildlife Refuge
Marty’s photo of the day #4721: I captured this somewhat grainy image with one of my motion-sensing cameras. For 28 years, my wife and I have protected our 25 acres as the Essen Wildlife Refuge. In the grand scale of Montana, our acreage is hardly anything. Nevertheless, people like us are sometimes castigated as greedy […]

Rufous hummingbird
Marty’s photo of the day #4706: It’s too early for the Rufous hummingbirds to arrive here in Montana, so here’s one that hung out around the house a few years ago.
