Two Dark-eyed Juncos

by Earthwatcher, posted in Atlanta, Bellevue, Bird Photography, bird watching, birding, Birds, Earthwatcher, GA, Georgia, nature, Nature Photography, Roswell, Uncategorized, Washington, Wildlife, Wildlife Photography

There are several subspecies of Dark-eyed Juncos: the Oregon, the Slate-gray, the Canadian Rocky Mountain, the White-winged, the Pink-sided, and the Gray-headed. I’ve only been fortunate enough to see two of them. They are a type of Sparrow. They all have black eyes and a pink bill.

When I visit the west coast, I see the Oregon sub-species. Here in Georgia and other eastern US locations, I see the Slate-gray. I’m always amazed at their beauty.

American Robin

American Robin
Marymoor Park, Redmond, Washington, USA; NOV 2023

The iconic bird Christmas card in the culture of the USA is “Currier and Ives” style Northern Cardinal, its bright red contrasting against a bright green holly bush capped with snow and adorned with red berries. I’ve never been anywhere that I have seen that scene in nature. A few weeks ago, I was in the Seattle area. It was a sunny day with blue skies and some American Robins were feasting on red berries from a Hawthorn tree. That’s close enough don’t you think?

To my friends and followers of the Christian faith, I wish you Merry Christmas. To my other friends and followers, I wish you Happy Hanukkah, Happy Kwanza, belated Diwali or whatever you celebrate. May we all regain peace and harmony,

Short-eared Owls

Short-eared Owl;
Bayview-Edison Rd, Edison, Washington, USA; NOV 2023

Some days you get lucky. My son and I were searching for birds to photograph in the state of Washington, USA. Traveling on a back road in an agricultural area, we found a group of photographers with big lenses. Of course, we had to stop. As it turned out, they were watching and photographing some Short-eared Owls that migrate into the area over winter. This was my first experience seeing Short-eared Owls and I was excited. What a blessing.

By the way, like the Long-eared Owl, it’s not the length of their actual ears that is responsible for their name. It is the length of ear-like tufts on their head.

Sunrise Over a Foggy Valley

Sunrise Over Foggy Valley – Perspective 1
Rattlesnake Edge Trail Overlook, North Bend Area, Snoqualmie Region, Seattle, Washington, USA; NOV 2023

I was visiting my family in the Seattle area. One day we got up early and went to a spot with great views of mountains and a valley. The only issue was that we were in the valley and had to hike 2 miles up the mountain in order to get to the overlook.

The Rattlesnake Edge Trail is a trail cut into the side of a steep mountain lying in its angle of repose. The elevation gain over the 2 miles is 1160 feet. I’m not ashamed to say that it was a tough climb for me, but I made it. We got there about 10 minutes before sunrise.
