Close up on Ospreys!
I witnessed something marvelous in Wenatchee the past few days, on a high platform above the Columbia River, (them not me,) a pair of Osprey with their young. The platform was in front of our hotel, fronting the river, and the two adults came… Continue Reading “Close up on Ospreys!”

American Goldfinch
I rarely see a Goldfinch in my yard; I guess the accommodations and food supply are not to their liking. So, I was happy to see our state bird recently in Westport on our way to Long Beach. Happier still that this handsome male… Continue Reading “American Goldfinch”

On the Wing at Willapa Bay
Last week I spent a few days in Long Beach, perhaps my favorite place on the Washington Coast (you’ve already seen sunset.) I’ll have more to say about our trip in the coming days, including our excursions into Oregon. But for now, I’ll focus… Continue Reading “On the Wing at Willapa Bay”

Chickadees at Home in the Snag
I’ve told you about the snag we have in our front yard, saved from the axe a few years ago, per the recommendation of an arborist. I’ve watched the Flickers do their renovation work and seen them nesting in it year after year. But… Continue Reading “Chickadees at Home in the Snag”

Northern Flickers Making Home in the Snag
Some years ago, my husband noticed one of our trees out front was dying, perhaps already dead. He brought out an arborist to take it down, who instead, convinced us to leave it standing as a snag. He topped it and removed most of… Continue Reading “Northern Flickers Making Home in the Snag”
