Thoughts about…
Photo Update
I chose to take a break from writing an essay this month since I wrote such a long one last month. Please forgive me 😉
In the meantime, here are a bunch of landscape photos of Tahoe and some of its amazing birds.
October was very “birdy” all things considered. Some of the more notable species I saw were American Goldfinches, a Ferruginous Hawk, Barred Owl, and Lesser Black-backed Gull.
Visit the official TBY website to see the current top 5 contenders.
Tahoe Big Year Leaderbird as of October 31, 2024
Lake Tahoe received its first real round of snow (at lake level) on October 28th, so I went out the next day and made a YouTube video. There wasn’t enough snow on which to xc ski, but the scenery was lovely just the same and I saw some really cute birds!
Thanks for being a part of my life. Until next time…

Tahoe Trail Guide is an online resource for hiking, backpacking, cross-country skiing, and snowshoeing in the Lake Tahoe region. In addition to trail data, I offer backcountry “how-to” articles and information about the local and natural history of Tahoe. Tahoe Swag is a collection of art and design products I create based on my love of the outdoors and appreciation for Lake Tahoe and the surrounding Sierra Nevada Mountains.
If you like any of the images I post in these newsletters, please contact me. I’d be more than happy to upload them to my RedBubble account so that you can order prints and other merchandise featuring the images.

A Note about Patreon and PayPal…
Patreon is an online platform for providing financial support to creators who provide quality digital content that’s otherwise free. I offer various subscription tiers starting at $3.

The button directly below the Patreon button is a way in which to provide a one-time payment via PayPal (if subscriptions aren’t your thing).
My newsletters here on JaredManninen.com, the articles that I publish on Tahoe Trail Guide, and the videos I upload to YouTube will always be free. But if you’re interested in contributing to the health and longevity of my websites and YouTube channel, consider subscribing. Even a little goes a long way 🙂
