A Bright Ruby-crown

 In our backyard, several winter birds are here now.  One of them is Ruby-crowned Kinglet.

"Look at my bright ruby-crown!👍👍👀"

"I come here often during the cold months😋."

"I am very swift💨.  You rarely can take a picture!😁😍"

Winter is Here.

 The cold weather has arrived here.  The first frost is on the blueberry leaves.

Anna's Hummingbird:  "It is getting very cold here."

At the wetland nearby,   many waterfowl are on the water.  Here are  Green-winged Teals.

"It is fun to be back here for winter."

Mallards:  "We are around here all the time.  Just take a nice photo of us."

Kalapuyan Land

The other day when we visited a wetland, we found this sign 👀👀.  What is this?❓

"...The Kalapuya tribes' traditional homelands were the Willamette Valley of present-day western Oregon in the United States, an area bounded by the Cascade Range to the east, the Oregon Coast Range at the west, the Columbia River at the north, to the Calapooya Mountains of the Umpqua River at the south..."

We hope this land will be kept in a good condition so that people can enjoy watching birds as we do😍.

Many winter waterfowl: Canada Geese, Cacking Geese, Pintails, etc.

"Many friends have arrived here for the winter months.  

We appreciate the wetlands.😊😋😍"

Birds on a Rainy Day

Oregon's rain returned.  It has been rainy and cold.  Yesterday was a little windy, too. 

Bushtit:  "Oregon is now rainy.  We are used to it. 💧💧💧"

House Finch:  "No more fresh blueberry here.  The leaves are red and pretty.👍"

Anna's Hummingbird:  "I am back to the feeder.  Not bad😋!"
