A quick question.

Okay. I snapped this photo at the Columbia River Gorge today. At first I thought this was an Osprey nest but looking closer at it this just puzzles me. Do you know what this is?

Great blue herons for Great blue heron week.

Red-tailed hawks growing fast.

The red-tailed hawk babies around the Portland area are growing fast! Check this out!

These are the two red-tail babies from the raptor cam in Downtown Portland! They are almost adults!

This is one of the red-tail babies in greenway park just at the edge of the nest on the left side. They are getting big too!

Here is some fur picked off a rodent and tossed to the ground.

This puzzles me. Any ideas what bird this wing picked clean tossed under the red-tail nest belongs to?

Enjoy your weekend!

Catch up post.

Hey everybody!

Sorry for the lack of posting. Since I haven't posted for a while I decided to make a catch up post.

A mother mallard with her ducklings!

This red-winged blackbird does not like people. He always chirps and hovers right over your head when anybody walks over "the beaver bridge". I don't blame him. He has a nest right next to it! We heard the babies chirping yesterday.

A mallard nest in Greenway.

Look at the size of the goslings!

Another huge "gosling".

Yes! I got a picture of one of the male black-headed grosbeaks that have arrived!

We have also spotted a mother wood duck with 11 babies in Greenway park! She is very good at hiding. A good skill to have when there are so many predators around.

Have a great week! :-)
