  1. Approximately a zillion #CacklingGeese coming in to land at the Tualatin River #NationalWildlifeRefuge this afternoon. Sound on for the full effect! Other birds today included a #NorthernHarrier lass cruising past at eye level, a distant flock of #WesternMeadowlark flushing up from the field, groups of #TundraSwan and #SnowGoose, faraway #GreaterYellowlegs and #Killdeer, a #GoldenCrownedKinglet practically in my pocket, and a white-belly second year #BaldEagle piccoloing overhead.

  2. A Western meadowlark (a rarity in Brooklyn), a Swainson's hawk (another vagrant) and a red-tailed hawk, and a house wren (unusual for winter in Brooklyn), at Brooklyn's Bush Terminal Park and 29th St. Recycling Center.

  3. We went to see the winter birds in #SauvieIsland, most especially the #SandhillCranes. They are the largest species of crane in North America and their distinctive call is haunting. We also saw #BaldEagle, #HarrierHawk, #Kestrel, #SnowGoose, #CanadaGoose, #Coot, #ScrubJay, #RedwingBlackbird, #WesternMeadowlark, and a few others. What a gorgeous day!

    If you go, don't forget to buy a wildlife parking permit at the store next to the bridge.
