Birding with baby

This is at Tualatin River National Wildlife Refuge.  It was a cool sunny day and we enjoyed the walk even though we didn’t get any “special” birds.  I also got to try out the new spotting scope I got for Christmas (thanks mom and dad).

Baby is learning quickly how to be a great birder.

The park hosts many hawks.  This is a juvenile Red-tailed Hawk.  He let us get pretty close.

In our backyard we continue to get feathered visitors.

A Northern Flicker who is way too big for our suet feeders but tries (and succeeds) anyway.

A Golden-crowned Sparrow.  We have lots and lots of these right now.

A terrible shot of a Yellow-rumped Warbler.  I just love getting these though, and I wanted to share its bright beautiful colors.

Dark-eyed Juncos again.  We get lots of these season after season and so does everyone else, but I liked this shot.

Red-breasted Nuthatch.
