Alder Island Revisited

We love the circling trail on Alder Island at the Siletz Bay National Wildlife Refuge near Lincoln City. Jeanette is shown here on the trail alongside of this towering Cow Parsnip plant, which is the largest member of the Carrot Family in North America at 10 feet in height. This birding Hot Spot was the highlight of our daytrip to the Oregon Coast yesterday which involved stops at five different Hot Spots. Here is the link to our Checklist at Alder Island.
