The Eagles Return

October 21, 2018 by Larry Hubbell Leave a Comment

Our newest pair of Union Bay eagles, Monty and Marsha, have returned to Union Bay. My latest photos and observations can be seen at:

Thank you to Susan for the early heads-up regarding the eagle’s return!

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

A Moment In Time

August 31, 2018 by Larry Hubbell Leave a Comment

This time of year it seems like most of the birds I see are juveniles e.g. young birds trying to learn to find food and survive on their own. With Fall fast approaching they are racing the calendar as they attempt to master their survival skills. Learn how you can help them in this week’s post on:

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:

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

The Boring Bittern

October 14, 2017 by Larry Hubbell Leave a Comment

This week, for only the second time in six years, I was able to photograph an American Bittern on Union Bay. I wonder if it is here to spend the winter. One hundred years ago they used to nest here on Union Bay. It would certainly be wonderful if we could entice them to return. See more in this week’s post on:
