FOS birds.

Recently I have seen two First Of Season birds.

I didn't even know what bird this is. I just snapped this photo of it. When I looked at the picture I just took I realized that it's a Cedar Waxwing!

This is a Great-blue heron but It represents the Green Herons that have come back.

I still have not seen any Evening Grosbeaks or Lazuli Buntings. Although I spotted a female Western tanager at the library nearby I have not seen any in my yard.

This was an amazing trip. We saw many cool things and enjoyed our hike.

Time well spent.

These are the rest of the photos from Friday when we went to the Columbia river gorge.

We started at Horsetail falls.

Does anyone know what these are? They have a very sweet smell.

These are very pretty little flowers.
