Along with the mourning cloak butterfly, the California tortoiseshell (Nymphalis californica) is one of the earliest spring butterflies seen in Harney County. The adults of both species overwinter as adults and survive below-freezing temperatures by concentrating antifreeze sugars in their hemolymph, a fluid analogous to blood in vertebrates. They emerge in the warmer days of spring, feeding on tree sap and fermented fruit until flowers start to bloom. 📸: Peter Pearsall #californiatortoiseshell #nymphaliscalifornica #butterfly #highdesert #oregondesert #greatbasin #malheurnationalwildliferefuge #friendsofmalheur

Normally very shy, secretive birds, male Wilson’s snipe become considerably bolder in the breeding season. They’re often seen high in the air performing their “winnowing” display dives, or standing conspicously on posts and other raised perches, calling to defend their territory. 🎥 by Dan Streiffert #wilsonssnipe #snipe #highdesert #oregondesert #greatbasin #malheurnationalwildliferefuge #friendsofmalheur
