Eastern Washington Birds

Went to Eastern Washington this weekend! Saw some amazing birds I couldn't find on the west coast, also some cute land mammals. I think the colorful birds were really the most spectacular. Other ones I couldn't photograph were also Turkey Vultures and red Tailed Hawks. Birds are great.


Lazuli Bunting

Black Headed Grosbeak


Northern Rough Legged Swallow

Osprey

Western Bluebird

Sage Thrasher

Random adorable Yellow Pine Chipmunk! First I've ever seen :)

Babies!

Spring is the season for babies! I saw at least 30-35 goslings today and about 15 ducklings. How adorable. I love baby animals and ducklings and goslings are just little puffballs!

Catching Birds

I went mist-netting this week! It was amazing. Holding birds and learning about them, their feathers/bills/behavior and how to take data is a great experience. Anyone else gone mist-netting? What did you catch? More to come!
