I hope you have something fun and interesting planned for the weekend.
A Millipede Observation Class perhaps? No? Then maybe this...
It's Plant Sale Weekend!
Two of the largest sales are held today - the Hardy Plant Sale at the Lane County Fair Grounds, and the Oregon Plant Sale at Alton Baker Park. My mother has the day off - we've made lists - and we are going to shop!
I think this picture shows why Grosbeaks have their name. Doesn't the gal on the far right have a commanding Eagle-like profile?
Lots and lots of Gold Finches - eight on this branch...
...six in this tree.
A bunny in the morning sunlight.
This male California Quail was on a mission...
...he had something to say.
He hopped on top of one my large planters to shout out a call to all the other quail in the area.
Still reading? Here's your reward. Each year around Mother's Day, we are fortunate to see a Western Tanager or two on our property. I just had time to grab my camera and pop off this one shot before the two birds flew away. (Yeah I only managed to photograph one bird - darn it!)
Hi Beth, I love those bird photos. The quail is so pretty but that Western Tanager is spectacular!! We are off to the lighthouse for a beautiful day!
