This week’s post displays photos from a wonderful trip to the Union Bay Natural Area. I hope you find the creatures as inspiring and mystifying as I do. See the photos at:

Rama – The Young Osprey

July 13, 2019 by Larry Hubbell Leave a Comment

This week’s post features two osprey with broken branches. The first is just a few weeks old and the other may be its grandfather. Read the story at:

Union Bay Watch

Also, consider this a personal invitation to attend the Monday meeting with Friends of Arboretum Creek. Come, speak up and help restore our local stream.

Hope’s Challenge

July 6, 2019 by Larry Hubbell Leave a Comment

Does Hope have young in the nest? Where in the Union Bay area is her first nest located?

Will Hope and Stewart be able to defend their young from our local Bald Eagles? My best answers in this week’s post on:

Union Bay Watch

By the way, do not overlook the invitation to attend the first Friends of Arboretum Creek community meeting (toward the end of the post). Your help could make all the difference for our local habitat!

Have a great day on Union Bay...where 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:
