Beautiful day at the wetlands. #birds #egret

Before the catch. #egret #wetlands

Egret about to strike! Yes, success! #birds #wetlands #egret

#bittern #wetlandwalk #heron The usually shy American bittern was on the path we walk. The herons were mostly at the rookery, but some were out getting provisions. And the signs of spring were all around. (Sorry the bittern photo does not do this handsome bird justice!)

#walkinthewetlands #findingcalm #signsofspring We walk at the wetlands to find peace for a few moments. The herons are really hanging around the rookery, flying in and out.

#birds #heron #foggymorning There is a gathering of great blue herons all around the rookery in the trees across a pretty big pond. This lone heron was off on its own so I could actually get a photo.

#Portland #rain #spring #HopHop Had a slightly damp walk in SE Portland and across the Sellwood Bridge! 6+ miles with my walking buddy, preparing for the 15K in April.

#birds #egrets #wetlands #herons Early spring weather has the gb herons hanging out around the nests and chasing around in pairs. This is where we go to walk and breathe.

#caturday #comfortcat We got Bob in 2016 because I needed a kitten! (You can guess why.)

#heron #wetland Beautiful crisp morning at the wetlands today. This handsome bird was just standing very still, waiting…

She was in the tree alone (after the crows stopped harassing her) then she called out and in flew her friend. They made actual musical conversation with each other. Is this courtship? It was a stunning treat on our walk. #baldeagles #birds #Portland

Great blue heron at the wetlands. #birds #heron #aftertherain

#birds #wetlands The usually shy northern bittern was very much out and about, probably not expecting human visitors on the wetland trail. The road to the wetlands was a river but we walked around and were the only humans on the trail. #fernhillwetlandsoregon

Chief’s heir, Gracie Hunt is badmouthing the choice of Bad Bunny for the super bowl halftime. Well, it looks like the Chiefs may not make it this year anyway. #kansascity #superbowl #halftime #maybetheywillprovemewrong I like some of their players, but actually root against their kicker.

Purchasing power? What universe do they pull these numbers from??

Happy #caturday from the neighbor cat who will pose for a photo unlike Bob, our cat!!

#egret #wetlands This egret was actually pretty well hidden which allowed me to get a picture with my phone. It did finally decide the woman with the fancy camera was too close!

Fernhill Wetlands. Great blue heron.

#NoKingsPDX Portland does its thing. From people giving out roses to frogs to boats on the river with signs, it was great! Notice, nothing is burning.
