Birding

Just down the road from the RV park is the Tualatin River National Wildlife Refuge. Great place for a walk and watch birds doing their thing. That is my approach to bird watching.

There were several little brown birds that I was unable to identify. Identification is pretty easy for the Canada Goose. The Great Blue Heron was catching and dining on what appeared to be a small fish.

No photos of those. However, the hawk (finally) flew directly overhead for one of the few shots of birds.


There wasn't much sitting around for these birds; they were searching for something to eat. That was the process as I watched this robin for several minutes before it left the telephoto capabilities of my camera.


Wildlife photography is tough. My admiration to those who have the patience and the good luck to be in the right place at the right time.
