We went to Commonwealth Park in Beaverton yesterday for a quick bird walk. The weather was pretty miserable, but the birding was awesome! We saw First of Year Osprey and Hutton's Vireo, as well as a ton of other birds. This is a great place to bird and is easy on the feet.
Hope you enjoy!
An Osprey takes a fish in the lake, scaring the you know what out of a flock of American Wigeons.
The Osprey then flew right over our heads, carrying the fish.
A Yellow-Rumped Warbler, Myrtle variety.
This Cedar Waxwing flew into the tree we were standing under. It was great to see it so close up.
A Coot displaying his wonderful feet for us.
A Red-Tailed Hawk scanning for some lunch.
There were a lot of Red-Winged Blackbirds all over the park.
A Ruby-Crowned Kinglet flitting in and out the shrubs.
