Our camelia bush is under the big pine tree (cold and shaded),
but a couple of blossoms were already in bloom.☺️
March 14 was my mother-in-law's birthday. A male Rufous Hummingbird often returns here on this day. When I looked out around noon, there he was, right on time.
A purple crocus is now in bloom.
The other day the wetland was still in fog. We found a total of eight Tundra Swans resting and sleeping after a long flight from south.
A week ago, I saw Mt.Hood far away.
In my backyard, a lone White-crowned Sparrow stopped over. One or two usually comes during spring and autumn.
The other morning a juvenile Cooper's Hawk stopped over.
He was looking around, shouting once in a while, and cleaning the feathers. He was relaxed and spent a long time here.
Look at my first crocus. With the warm temperature, it just came out. Chinese New Year (Spring Festival) is Feb 17 this year.
On a sunny day, many birds like to dry out their feathers.
