Back To Our Old Haunts

We have been back home from our winter in Arizona for over two weeks now, and are enjoying birding at some of our old haunts.  Today we went to Fairview Dr Wetlands in South Salem.  It's on the list of our all time favorites, and possibly our oldest. I checked and we have been birding here for 20 years.  Here is the link to the oldest bird list is could find. We were starting to get serious enough that we started to make a written list then.  At that time we lived with-in walking distance of the wetlands.  We were much more into hiking at that time, more so than birds, so hiking to the wetlands  was simply a destination for a hike. It has developed over the years with the addition of wonderful trails and lots of native plantings.  A trip there now always brings back a flood of memories from our many birding experiences over the years. Here is the link for today's trip.
