Song sparrows look perfectly pleasant in profile, and utterly grumpy face-on.

Theo and I went out to inspect the damage from the late night wind. Only tree litter in our path, but I could hear chainsaws in the distance, and a friend of my son sent an early morning pic from my usual route to work.

Pretty much the entire West Coast on flood watch from Canada to the Oregon/California border, and the birds are getting a bit damp in the downpour.

Not yet four-and-twenty blackbirds, but more kept arriving, so it may have gotten to that - I had to head to class before I could find out.

Also spotted on our walk along the end of the lake were a young Cooper's hawk, and a bald eagle that soared in, scaring away the ducks and then perching in a tree.

Anyone know what this bird might be? A sparrow variation I haven't seen before. The others in the yard were song sparrows and Golden crowned sparrows.

Watched a red-tailed hawk enduring a blustery wind in the snag outside the office, until an angry crow chased it off.

The geese aren't quite there yet in organizing their V shapes for migration. They also flew by a few minutes later in the opposite direction so they may be a little directionally challenged at the moment too.
