It has been a hot and dry summer here in Oregon, but it hasn't stopped me from enjoying all that nature has to offer.
I'm always amazed at everything I find just wandering around our five acres with my poodle everyday.
 |
| This is Wilson my partner in crime. Rain or Shine, this poodle demands his two walks daily whether I'm ready or not! |
 |
| Anna's Hummingbird These tiny little birds are so dainty, yet so colorful. |
 |
| Black-headed Grosbeak I have a whole family of these birds this year. |
 |
| Spotted Towhee (Baby) I normally don't see the young ones around, but this year I had several! |
 |
| A pair of Red-Shouldered Hawks sitting in the tree. You can't miss their loud call. |
 |
| Western Wood Pewee I love flycatchers. It's so interesting how they always go back and forth to their perch. |
 |
| Bullocks Oriole This is the first year I've seen these colorful birds in my tree. |
 |
| Evening Grosbeak I have a pair that come back every year for a visit. |
 |
| Wrentit I heard this guys song before he was spotted. I didn't see his friend, but he could be heard as well. |
 |
| Belted Kingfisher This loud mouth has been hanging around all year. See his tongue! |
 |
| Honeybee on my pretty flowers These are the good bees! |
 |
| California Scrub Jay (baby) I love all the baby birds. Look how soft this one looks. Don't you just want to touch it? |
 |
| Eurasian Collared-Dove This guy is perched at the top of our cherry tree. It must me a good vantage point. |
 |
| Hairy Woodpecker I never get tired of seeing woodpeckers. |
 |
| Lazuli Bunting This is the first time this bright colored bird visited my feeder. I was pretty excited about that. |
 |
| Lesser Goldfinch They are such happy little birds. |
 |
| Wilson, the gentle giant, getting to know my daughters little kittens. Isn't that cute! |
These are incredible shots!
