Powell Butte to Broughton Beach
Portland Birder Every day is a big day when you bird by bike. At least the way I do it. I was away from home for 9 hours, rode 35 miles, and saw 52 species of birds. My first stop of the day was one of the three highest locations in my 5 mile radius: Powell Butte. The whole ride there was a headwind. I … Continue reading Powell Butte to Broughton Beach
Unexpected Visitors

This is definitely the most colorful summer I have enjoyed around our house. Then, high temperature began to emerge in May, above 90’s and it seemed to stay this way for couple of weeks now. Except maybe two days,… Continue reading Unexpected Visitors

As a single, they might not look… Continue reading Bird Talk and Thoughts
Raptors
Raptors are larger birds, such as Hawk, Eagles, Falcons, Owls, and Kites etc. the so-called Birds of Prey. They have strong talons and beaks to hunt their prey in a flash. It’s a photographer’s joy to capture them in action. I am an incidental photographer. Every once a while, I got lucky. If not, I am content with a clear shot. American Kestrels are everywhere,… Continue reading Raptors
Ospreys might be the greatest of all fishermen
Originally posted on tedmanzer:
I wish I had more time to spend on and around the water. I love to watch the ospreys patrol the skies in search of fish. Some people call them sea-eagles or sea-hawks. In many places, ospreys can only be observed during certain parts of the year, but here in eastern North Carolina they live here year-round. Forty years ago, sighting… Continue reading Ospreys might be the greatest of all fishermen
