Socializing?

This week’s post finishes the story of a pair of Red-breasted Nuthatches and a pair of Downy Woodpeckers attempting to nest in the same branch – at the same time. Learn more on:

The Feast

For you and I a Holiday Dinner is often considered a feast, but what would be a feast for a Downy Woodpecker? Find the answer and see the photos in this week’s post at:

Signals Crossed

March 31, 2018 by Larry Hubbell Leave a Comment

This Great Blue Heron certainly got his signals crossed this week. Read more about avian body language in this week’s post on:

ps: If you happen to spot the Pileated Woodpeckers anywhere around Montlake, during the next couple of weeks, I would certainly love a high-speed email at:

ldhubbell@comcast.net

Thank you! It feels like they have been playing hard to get this year.

Burning With Fire

June 3, 2017 by Larry Hubbell Leave a Comment

Even though this post is titled ‘Burning With Fire’ and it is primarily about crows it is NOT about crows learning to cook with fire. Take a look for yourself to see the variety of items a crow will consume. See more at:

Dreams of Spring

February 13, 2016 by Larry Hubbell Leave a Comment

EB2R0396It is impossible to know what a heron dreams. It might be frogs and fish or it could be wishing for the warmer weather and sunshine of Spring. The dreams and signs of Spring are all around us. Bundle up and step outside to see them or if you are pressed for time just visit:

Union Bay Watch

Have a great day on Union Bay…where dreams of Spring are in the air!

Union Bay Watch | In The Mood?

February 21, 2015 by Larry Hubbell Leave a Comment

EB2R2973This week’s post is about Downy Woodpeckers. Have you ever wondered if birds have feelings? If you have any doubt I believe this post will help you resolve the issue. I hope you enjoy it!

Please visit: Union Bay Watch
By the way, at the end of the post there is a short reference to the shorebird petition. It contains a link to a video of a Dunlin murmuration. It is not my work so I feel free to say, it is amazing! I can’t stop watching it. If you haven’t signed the petition yet, please do!
Have a great day on Union Bay…where shorebirds hope to migrate through the city!
Larry
