#birds #pelicans Every summer the great American white pelicans grace some of the wetlands around the Portland, Oregon ponds. (This is at the Tualatin River National Wildlife Refuge.) notice the egrets like to hang with them.

#usps #foreverstamps It’s the last day to buy Forever Stamps at the current price. They go up on Sunday. (I guess you can get them from a vending machine tomorrow!)

#birds #wetlands #herons Only 4 or 5 herons in the rookery with at least 6 spotted around the edge of ponds and lakes. I guess the young are trying their wings. This one didn’t seem bothered by us on the trail. More focused on cleaning up for the day ahead!

#LovingDay #Pride #Loveislove Lest we forget … it was 1967 that the Supreme Court handed down the decision making interracial marriage legal in all 50 states.

#birds #herons #wetlands This gbh thought it was pretty well hidden so let me get pretty close. It did take off shortly after the second picture. Love our wetland walks and the trail crosses these big rocks so I had no choice of how close to be.

#birds #herons Yellow crowned night heron in NY, posing for the amateur (that’s me) and the more professional photographers! (Saw a bunch, plus egrets, and other shore birds.)

#birds #goslings #wetlandwalk Most of the goslings are now getting big. Walking at the wetlands is good for the sould during these crazy times!

Mama with 8 ducklings. #wetlands #signsofspring #ducklings #birds Baby ducks will always make me smile! Also saw an osprey flying - that might be interested in the ducklings for another reason. That’s a thought for another day!

#bittern #wetlandwalk #heron The usually shy American bittern was on the path we walk. The herons were mostly at the rookery, but some were out getting provisions. And the signs of spring were all around. (Sorry the bittern photo does not do this handsome bird justice!)

#walkinthewetlands #findingcalm #signsofspring We walk at the wetlands to find peace for a few moments. The herons are really hanging around the rookery, flying in and out.

#birds #heron #foggymorning There is a gathering of great blue herons all around the rookery in the trees across a pretty big pond. This lone heron was off on its own so I could actually get a photo.

#Portland #rain #spring #HopHop Had a slightly damp walk in SE Portland and across the Sellwood Bridge! 6+ miles with my walking buddy, preparing for the 15K in April.

#birds #egrets #wetlands #herons Early spring weather has the gb herons hanging out around the nests and chasing around in pairs. This is where we go to walk and breathe.

#heron #wetland Beautiful crisp morning at the wetlands today. This handsome bird was just standing very still, waiting…

She was in the tree alone (after the crows stopped harassing her) then she called out and in flew her friend. They made actual musical conversation with each other. Is this courtship? It was a stunning treat on our walk. #baldeagles #birds #Portland

#birds #wetlands The usually shy northern bittern was very much out and about, probably not expecting human visitors on the wetland trail. The road to the wetlands was a river but we walked around and were the only humans on the trail. #fernhillwetlandsoregon

Chief’s heir, Gracie Hunt is badmouthing the choice of Bad Bunny for the super bowl halftime. Well, it looks like the Chiefs may not make it this year anyway. #kansascity #superbowl #halftime #maybetheywillprovemewrong I like some of their players, but actually root against their kicker.

#egret #wetlands This egret was actually pretty well hidden which allowed me to get a picture with my phone. It did finally decide the woman with the fancy camera was too close!
