Early Morning at Cooper Mountain


Mystery bird....vireo??






The baby White-crowned Sparrows were on the ground, but got up on the fence when they saw Dad do it.



I adore the leg lift when he belts it out.


Yesterday I went to Cooper Mountain at 6am and it was great. Portland is having a heat wave and the best time to get out and see birds and wildlife is early...and the lighting is best for photography. I heard more birds than I saw, but the stuff I saw was good and it was nice to see some Painted Lady Butterflies, snakes, and bugs.
