Here we go again, being bad bloggers. We haven't posted much this last month, except for a couple of new arrivals to the yard. We have been quite busy with our community organization We've Got Time to Help, that we don't post enough. So, here are some photos from our travels around Portland over the last few weeks and, as always, we hope you enjoy them!

Hi Seth and Michelle! Fantastic bird pics, as always. I especially enjoyed the Eagle photos. Was that Chestnut-backed Chickadee photo from your yard? I'm just wondering cuz it looks like he's picking at a big clump of dryer lint, which you usually don't find out in the wild. (We put dog fur out for our birds to use for nesting material - they love it!)
Hi guys, isn't this just the best time of the year?! I've been having great success in the yard so far, it's very exciting! As always your pics are great! Hope all is well - have a great weekend!
