The Odd Bird
It’s just an expression – like odd duck – odd ball – odd man out – but it seems to suit February, certainly an odd month! For starters, I can’t ever remember how many days it has! “Thirty days has September, April, June and… Continue Reading “The Odd Bird”
Birds of a Feather at Juanita Bay
After a break in the weather yesterday we visited Juanita Bay Park, a protected wildlife area on the shores of Lake Washington. We took the boardwalk and joined other birders who pointed out the bald eagles high in the evergreens above. (Yes, I had… Continue Reading “Birds of a Feather at Juanita Bay”

A House Finch Courtship and a Hummingbird Flyby
