End of Winter Rambles

Red-tailed Hawk
We are in that slow time when winter is starting to tire out and there are signs of spring. Here are some random images from the past few weeks.
It is always a treat to get a good view of a Hutton’s Vireo.
Great Blue Heron toying with an American Bullfrog
This Cooper’s Hawk perched low in a thicket for some killer views.
This American Beaver was sitting out on a piling in the Columbia River. Beavers are actually pretty common in the Portland area, but are typically nocturnal. I have read that Beavers were historically diurnal, but became nocturnal in response to intense hunting pressure. Nice to see this one out enjoying the sun.

Happy Spring
