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.
