Yellow-rumped Warbler

Don't forget about the Yellow-Rumped Warbler. He seemed to want to keep an eye on me. I think he wanted his picture taken.

American Bittern

This was the first American Bittern I have ever seen. One of the avid local bird watchers we ran into today said that this is an uncommon bird and this was only the second one he has ever seen. Chuck is the one that spotted him. I knew he was going to become a birder...

St Patty's Birding Weekend

I got so many great pictures of birds this weekend. I think this Pied-billed grebe was one of my favorites.

Hawk

On our search for the eagle we found a red tailed hawk sitting in the tree instead. He turned to pose long enough for Chuck to get his picture. Chuck may have to be a bird photoger also.

Eagles are making a come back

We went to Sauvie Island to view the eagles. We found a couple of them in the middle of the island. One was flying around chasing a hawk away.
