Looking out our windows, we spot a Red Breasted Sapsucker inspecting one of our fir trees. This bird looks a little rough on the edges... must be from living in war-torn, riot-filled streets of #Portland #oregon

An Acorn Woodpecker in the bright sunlight filtering thru the green oak leaves as it collects acorns for the winter. This is the northern most edge of their range, they always remind me of #clowns

It should be impossible to mis-identify the Acorn Woodpecker....

I think it must be a Law of Nature that it is impossible for four Long Billed Dowitchers to all have their beaks out of the water at once..

Actually, it was purchased from a very hard working young man and his wife at $8/lb... I'm sure ICE would love to give them a ride. We also bought a dozen eggs from their chickens they raise.

With #Portland a #LivingHell worse than WWII, those of us still here are resorting to scavenging food from the wilderness.... we will suffer through with Five pounds of beautiful, fresh Golden Chanterelle Mushrooms.

They are fun birds... easier to find in Spring mating season.

It was so small and well hidden, I never saw it!!! But they were watching and laughing at us!

From across that water 30 feet (10m), we heard the unmistakable laughter of a Virgina Rail.... well, actually, many Rails calling to each other. Only with the 3000mm #nikon #P1000 could we catch an eye.

Please share our View from our living room tonight of the war-torn #Portland #oregon

The sounds of the rioters and the smell of tear gas is unimaginable with the sky lit from the burning buildings and torched cars.

To allow ship traffic on one of the country's largest shipping routes without a vertical lift bridge, you have to start the road climb up to the bridge height almost a mile on both sides to keep a grade that trucks can climb.
