Flycatchers and Lazuli Buntings make up the majority of this gallery, plus a few species photographed on a trip up at elevation in central Oregon.
On the trip, I paid special attention to fast-flowing rivers and was lucky enough to see American Dippers at a few locations. I also got some shots of Clarks Nutcracker, though they were very high in trees, and Common Nighthawk. A Mountain Bluebird I was not expecting would have been a lifer, had it not been for the recent trek I went on to photograph some closer to home here.

Lazuli Bunting, Western Flycatcher (Pacific-slope)This is a unique shot of two species at once. The flycatcher went after the Lazuli shortly after this, despite it looking the other way around in the next photo.

Lazuli BuntingThis bird has pretty clean plumage, so I'm assuming its an adult female.

Lazuli BuntingThis bird is a bit more ratty looking, so I guess it's a younger bird and can't be assumed to be female.

Western Wood-PeweeI'm pretty sure this is my first at home (in yard) photo of this bird, though I've heard it around the house a number of times.
