Jays and Squirrels

We’re often awoken to Western Scrub-Jays visiting our feeder at the crack of dawn and I’ve been trying to photograph them for the past week. I was finally rewarded this afternoon and I suspect they may be trying to nest in an adjacent yard again this year. I also caught the Eastern Fox Squirrel that has been making off with all the bird food!

I’m off to SE Arizona again this weekend. This news article that came out this morning caught my attention…and does well at summarizing the drug wars in this region of our country. I will try to be safe!

It’s been a long while since my last post but I finally managed to get out and do something. Although our trip was primarily focused around wine tasting with friends in the Willamette Valley I managed to sneak away a couple of mornings. I was fortunate enough to be invited to Christine Sheridan’s property in Sherwood, OR where all of these photos were taken. Highlights were really Pileated Woodpecker and better shots of Chestnut-backed Chickadees.

Also spent some time up Larch Mountain hoping for Gray Jays but completely struck out. We had an American Three-toed Woodpecker and several MacGillivray’s Warblers calling but I was not able to get any photos.

We’re off to Mammoth Lakes and Yosemite next weekend and SE Arizona the weekend after so lots of updates to come this month.
