Slow February

I haven't updated the much because February was a pretty quiet month of birding. At the start of the month, we were trapped in our neighborhood by a snow storm, but we had lots of fun slipping and sliding around the neighborhood.

The snow eventually melted and we ventured out and found some signs of bird life:

 

A pair of Bald Eagles near their nest on Sauvie Island.

A Harris's Hawk near Highway 79 (work trip to Arizona)

A tiny Bufflehead swimming near a pier in Astoria

Last week, we toasted the end of February with stouts from Fort George Brewery in Astoria

 Here's to a March that will be birdier than February!
