You don't want to be the furry mammal that this juvenile Great Blue Heron has its eyes firmly locked on....

Visit to the Bow-Edison area of north west Washington state> Looking for raptors but found a large bevy of Swans.

This female Hooded Merganser just got back from the beauty salon and is cruising the waters at #FernhillWetlands for a lucky mate!

With its camouflage, the American Bittern is a difficult bird to spot except when it steps out from the matching reeds.

Normally a Blue Heron or Kingfisher perch above the #FernhillWetlands, we were thrilled to watch this Coopers Hawk for 4 miniutes surveying the area for bird food.

An image of a pair of #Cranes flying into the cornfield that so alerted the family of Sandhill Cranes in the prior post...

A brief visit to Sauvie Island in the rain today resulted in seeing over 50 Bald Eagles and these two adult Sandhill Cranes on right and their offspring loudly claiming their part of the cornfield.

A stunningly white Egret hunting the grasses... on our next drive around the autoroute at #RNWR we imaged a dramatic consumption of a cute furry mammal.
Photos to follow.

Feathers fluffed up in the cool wind, this Coopers Hawk is #birdwatching the fields and bushes of Ridgefield NWR for a feathered treat.

It's been awhile since I posted a Red Winged Blackbird ... it appears they are getting their brighter colors back!

Must be this false Spring we are having in #Oregon

This Short Eared #Owl takes a moment from its vole hunt to ponder why all the #photographers are standing in the wet mud on a chilly winter day.
