Photos of almost-adult Great Blue Herons from a couple weeks ago.

We talk so much about the weird positions cats sleep in, but 'balanced on one foot on a pediment covered in bird poop' is also pretty impressive!

Beautiful landing from this youngun!

I can tell these two are immature because despite having dapper blue streaks on their heads (unlike totally BABY herons), they are still growing in their mature breeding-display quills -- the short ivory brush-strokes where a regal ruff will go, down and around their necks.

I mean make up your mind.

Do you want us to have a happy 4th of July, or do you want us to not damage police cars?

{Not feeling bad about the "slightly injured" part, considering what they consider major injuries when it comes to cops}

{also loving how when someone throws a firework at a police car, it's a felony, but if when it is thrown at another civilian It's no big deal}

{Please don't burn down anyone's house or start a forest fire though please. Please. Please.}

The Wednesday Ride: All the way to Beaverton (26 Feb 2025)

Fanno Creek Trail, 26 Feb 2025. Pentax IQZoom/Espio 115G, Fujicolor 400 It was 11am on Wednesday February 26th and I just got out of my Earth Sciences lab on the PCC Cascade Campus in North Portland. While I had some schoolwork to do, none of it was urgent. My only obligation for the rest of the day was to meet my friend Brian at Binary Brewing in Beaverton at 6 for “Drink and Draw Night”. That…

I am, as ever, in my

Marsh Witch Era

Seeing as how this week the summer is marginally less blazingly sunny, today I betook myself to the local marsh to birdwatch. Have I processed all my photos? HA HA HA oh of course not. Did I squander my momentum by half-assing it to pull out favorite photos already? YOU BET.

Here are some of my favorite things I saw today:

💙 Immature great blue heron snapping around its head trying to snack a large dragonfly. (Obviously I did not get my camera up in time. I’m a doofus. But this is the young heron’s scrawny beautiful self:

💙 High heron levels leading to Heron Perch Conflicts, which the great blue herons obviously won. (Heron levels: great blue 4, great egret 4, green heron 2.)

1. “Just because I stepped OFF that branch does not mean you get to step ON it.”

2. “Keep on flying, draggle-butt!” (This great egret has a rather lovely but out of place feather trailing it, walking or flying, like a beautiful garland of toilet paper.)

3. Having chased the egret further off, the heron indulged in a little floofing and mantling. This isn’t the threat display I usually see, which is more like sideways fencing footwork with the wing as a shield; this is just straight-up “where do you think Brian Froud took inspiration for the Skeksis in The Dark Crystal from” showing off:

💞A pied-billed grebe bringing a big fish to its (loudly begging) offspring to eat. They’re such hungry creatures and love to steal prey from each other, but this good little parent is giving away a big catch!

💙 Young princefisher (belted kingfisher) backwinging to hover and decide if anything looks worth diving for. His flight control is gorgeous, and so is he!
