Birder PapaRrazi
An Amateur Birdwatcher's tally
Darkness in the morning. Darkness in the evening. In King County, WA, October has a lot of dark moments. But in the day, cheer can still fly on the wings of birds. Chickadees, gold finches, sparrows, juncos, and a pair of hummingbirds filled my yard with delight this month.
Out and about, I saw blue herons, hawks, kingfishers, kestrels, and ducks. More and more ducks and geese seem to be arriving. So far, I’ve seen mallards, wigeons, and northern shovelers. Will mergansers, wood ducks, cinnamon and green teals follow soon? I hope so! I love duck season. For one thing, as I’ve mentioned, many waterbirds are great to photograph. The weather is getting colder, even here in the northwest. It’s green all year around, but the leaves are still dropping and so hawks are more visible in the trees. Birding in the northwest is awesome. My cats, Annie and Gracie think so, too!

AuthorI love birdwatching. It's relaxing and fun. Even though I've been birding for over 10 years I classify myself as an amateur birder. I plan to write a blog each month about my experiences. Hope you enjoy them! Categories |
