If you have been out to Foster Island since the windstorm on Tuesday you may have noticed this topless cottonwood tree. I have come to suspect that a female pileated woodpecker may have been roosting in the tree. In any case, she has certainly been renovating a new shelter. See the photos and read the story on:

As you can see, this week’s title is not about bird photos in black and white. It is more about how we miss exceptional behaviors in common birds, even when it is happening right in front of us. I am learning I need to pay closer attention, there is a lot going on. See more on:

This week’s post shows the adventures of one of our young owls, among the golden leaves in the Arboretum. If you have not had the chance to visit the Arboretum lately, I would suggest visiting it soon, as the leaves are rapidly loosing the color and their altitude. You can see more “golden” owl photos on:

The Trick-or-Treat question regarding this photo is one of perception. Did you notice the beauty in the shape of the bird’s wings and tail, which I regard as the treat, or on the other hand, did you notice the second bird’s eye peering out from under the left wing, which I regard as the trick. Nature is full two-sided propositions, darkness and light, sickness and health, competition and compassion. Read more and see the photos of crows in combat on:

This week’s post covers an autumn feud between two Bewick’s Wrens in the Arboretum. In the world of birds how loud you sing is more important than a deed to your property. Wouldn’t it be odd if that worked for humans? See more on:

This week’s post is all about crows and the wide variety of things they will consume. It is almost like, if it is not bolted down they will eat it. I hope you enjoy the photos and have crow stories of your own to share! See more on:

In the Pacific Northwest we all want to see salmon runs restored. We all want to live in harmony with nature. The question is, Are we addressing the real underlying issues or wasting our efforts treating the symptoms.
There are also photos of a rare bird that has been residing near Duck Bay all week. Have a great day on Union Bay!
