This month, we welcome a deepening of the season with changing weather and movement. Below, you’ll find some wonderful shots of those that share the landscape in Eastern Washington—brought to us by our very own Arid Lands Assistant Manager, Daniel Misch.
As the nights start getting colder in the Coulee, I wanted to take a minute to reflect on a few of the visitors we had throughout the summer. A game camera on the Moses Coulee Preserve has captured just how much a gate that sits at the intersection of quality shrub-steppe and agricultural fields is used by visitors and residents, even when closed. From badgers to quail, see if you can spot and identify all of the critters that share the lands.
Our best attempts at animal identifications, from top to bottom: deer, Brewer’s blackbirds, cougar, sharp-shinned hawk, badger, California quail, porcupine, striped skunk.
