More good Spring bird news!

From our living room, we can see a Red-tailed Hawk nest across the river. The scope is usually pointing towards it. This morning I saw the first hatchling of the season! There may be more but only one fuzzy white head was showing.

Birds are returning!

Despite weather that is at times, windy, sunny, warm, cold, and snowing, all within an hour or so, birds are returning to North Central Washington.

Tuesday I had to be in Wenatchee for a day long Vet appointment and so I took my kayak and I saw a pair of Osprey at the mouth of the Wenatchee River. It was a nice reward for the trip.

At our house in the Methow on Friday, a Rufous Hummingbird arrived and yesterday it was joined by Calliope hummers. In Twisp there is an unusual hummingbird that is puzzling even to the experts. It could be an Anna's.

Ken said he saw five Turkey Vultures here on Tuesdsay and suddenly they are everywhere!

Dusky Grouse have been displaying on hillsides for a couple of weeks now.
