High Desert voices of the many and the few: LAPC

High Desert voices can be heard throughout Central Oregon if you just pause and listen.

Bold shouts of the many

Lichen-covered boulders at Abert Rim

Quiet whispers of the few

Stones layered with calcite at Summer Lake

Raucous calls of the many

Waterbird colony at Summer Lake

Soft bugling of the few

Sandhill Crane near Paisley

Rising chorus of the many

Tufted evening primrose near Crack in the Ground

Descending notes of the few

Bitterroot blossom near Chimney Rock
