Coming To My Senses

January 8, 2017 by Larry Hubbell Leave a Comment

eb2r2192For a number of days this week I was unable to find the red-breasted sapsucker. It was not to be seen in the cedar tree where I had expected to see it all winter long. Was the bird experiencing a problem or was the problem all in my mind? Find out more in this week’s post on:

Have a great day on Union Bay…where nature lives in the city!

Eric the Red Returns

December 6, 2015 by Larry Hubbell 2 Comments

EB2R9182Sapsuckers are woodpeckers with a sweet tooth, not literally, but they certainly have a taste for the sweet stuff. In broadleaf, deciduous trees the sap stops flowing in the winter. During the cold months, the industrious little woodpeckers survive by switching to evergreen trees. This week, Eric the Red returned to the Arboretum and his favorite Spanish Spruce. Last year, he had stiff competition for the exotic sap. Find out if the competition continues on:

Discriminating Taste | Union Bay Watch

January 11, 2015 by Larry Hubbell Leave a Comment

 

EB2R9535This week’s post focuses on Varied Thrush and their very selective food preferences. You might even say they are a bit “picky”. It is funny when you look at their tongues they do not look at all like ours so it makes me wonder if they even have taste buds. Somehow they definitely have preferences about their food. You can learn more and see the photos on:
