When your country has things upside down and topsy turvy. This is one of the only things that should be appreciated for living in such a manner. #bird #birder #canon #nature #nuthatch #crazydays

For a few short months rufous hummers take their place in our area. Their place seems to be everywhere, however. They display a fierce, aggressive demeanor, making nice with no one. Kindness matters, they just haven’t learned it. #birds #hummingbird #canon #pnw #birder

Unseasonably warm weather had the birds up early and much more active than we generally expect to see. The gadwalls were unsettled, flying in and out of the pond area. #birds #canon #birder #pnwbirds #trnwr #gadwall

“Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses…” They are arriving, the spring migrants. No administration can wall them out. I, for one, find their diversity beautiful. #chippingsparrow #birds #birdphotography #canon

They are swift, silent fliers, blending with tree trunks imperceptibly. We watched him jet through the forest in pursuit of a squirrel, becoming a 15 minute nature drama. Crows intervened and inevitably saved said squirrel. What a morning, what a show. #birds #owls #pnw #canon #birder #photography

Hey Oregon birders, bird lovers…

Perhaps he should have left the hawkish behaviors to the actual hawks. These are some crazy, deluded times. Off to stock the shelves of the food bank. Hard working Americans don’t have money for food, but hey, he doesn’t care, I do though, I care. #birds #birder #canon #pnw #Sunriver

I’ve been reading about folks stocking up on various goods due to this tariff nightmare. Some insider must have added this bushtit to their Signal chat, she’s been stocking up on material for days now. 🤪 #birds #birder #canon #bushtit #blue

With all the stock turmoil happening, it’s important to find some momentary escapes. Birding, reading, gardening, the sound of wind chimes, my grandsons…it’s okay to turn away from all this, it’s more than okay, it’s imperative. #birds #birder #canon #hope #holdon

Crossbills fascinate me. The way their bill (beak) crosses over, how does it even work? But it does, and they survive and thrive. Democrats got our messaging wrong, crossed up, yesterday it was clear. We may look incapable but when knocked down, we get up stronger. Let’s go! #birds, #canon #birder

We spent the week in #Sunriver birding and helping our daughter’s family set up their new #Caldera vacation rental, #sablerocklodge. Lots of Western Bluebirds and Crossbills and a lifer White headed Woodpecker flyover. #birds #birder #canon #Nature

We watched him hopping around looking for food, but he came up with empty talons. It was quite comical to observe. #addbirder #birds #canon #birdphotography
