We had four inches of rain in three days.

The sky above the Ridgefield wildlife refuge is agitated by the approaching atmospheric river.

After the rains come, the fields turn into shallow lakes inhabited by massive flocks of waterfowl.

Today I saw about a dozen sandhill cranes, six swans and one eagle.

A lot of drama in my yard today. There's a buck wandering around being horny and a small flock of does trying to avoid him.

I see no ships at the grain port in Longview. That's sad. It's harvest time, and the grain elevator should be busy.

Mt. St. Helens in the background currently has no snow, but don't worry, we are not having a drought. It's been an excellent growing season.

Sometimes you choose the diet. Sometimes, the diet chooses you.

It's kind of a weird place to see pelicans because I did not think we were on their migration path, but this is the 3rd year I have seen them on this little lake near Ranier, Oregon.

A flock of crows eat peanuts, drink water out of a fountain, and slide down a roof.

One time Greebo and Marv stared down a bobcat. Words were exchanged. The bobcat retreated.

Are they cute? These brothers are mountain barn cats. They patrol the forest and keep pests away, including large predators. They are 9 years old, gray and battle scarred, with no desire to retire and live in the house. They threaten to kill me every time I suggest it. Meet Marv and Greebo.

At 3 weeks old, the baby newts are still transparent, but they are starting to develop their characteristic red bellies, an important defensive signal that lets predators know they are poisonous.
