Jeanette listening for birds with her iPhone
Winter birding is all about looking for warmth and sunshine. Yesterday we chose the Oregon Coast, a few degrees warmer, the sun brighter, and the air a little clearer than the Willamette Valley where we live. Specifically, we went to our current standby, the Alder Island Trail in the Siletz Bay National Wildlife Refuge, just south of Lincoln City. The leafless trees now make for a baren woods devoid of color but do make the birds a little easier to see.
Possibly the best bird of the day, the elusive Hermit Thrush
A first for us at this location, a Common Loon
The ever-dependable Great Blue Heron
