Thanks all!

I noticed this one skitter in a tree while driving by. Yesterday in SW Idaho. Thanks.

I also have been using the same cards for years without a card failure and without loss of files, and I reformat the cards in camera after every shoot once the images are on the computer. Memory cards can fail but I don't think it's very common for them to do that.

Yellow-headed Blackbird

This one cracks me up every time I see it!

Belted Kingfisher

There are computer apps that can recover deleted files if the files have been deleted but the card/drive hasn't been reformatted. After EVERY shoot I import the photos to the computer and then format my CF/SD card IN CAMERA, never on the computer. I also don't delete any images in camera, I only delete images from the computer after import. That way the camera image count will track with the image file number.

Drat! Ain't seen one yet.
