I liked that profile shot too. It's funny how such a tiny bird can cut such a nice profile, one that's just unmistakable.dguzmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01811101661607351661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2601203180585097369.post-60470063529979150772009-06-02T07:00:59.736-07:002009-06-02T07:00:59.736-07:00@Meg- thanks!

Hope to see you guys soon!<br /><br />@Chris- thanks for the insight about the Anna's hummingbirds. I didn't see any Steller's Jays, but then again I wasn't looking for them. Thanks for the tips! It was just a business trip- not permanent, but I'll take your advice for next time.Birdinggirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04810581588440800244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2601203180585097369.post-68861755895694729882009-06-01T14:40:47.825-07:002009-06-01T14:40:47.825-07:00I don't know if you are out there for good or just...I don't know if you are out there for good or just staying briefly but keep an eye out for Stellers Jays, the west version of a blue jay with a funny 'shak shak shak' call.<br /><br />Anna's can be aggressive near a nesting area and will buzz you relentlessly until you get beyond their comfort zone. Another characteristic creature out there is the Acorn Woodpecker.<br /><br />If you are going to be out there for a while, you'll want to do a road trip up near the Oregon Border as that is a species intensive region due to the incredible collisions of several biomes.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18394197995097602185noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2601203180585097369.post-3943758506293124032009-06-01T09:25:39.884-07:002009-06-01T09:25:39.884-07:00your picture taking skills are coming along great ...your picture taking skills are coming along great catie! those hummingbird pics are awesome! i put a hummingbird feeder out this year but have yet to see any birds. keep meaning to tell you we went canoeing mem day weekend and we saw a bluebird! now i know why you got so excited-they're beautiful! saw a pretty oriole too!meghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11227190385553000406noreply@blogger.com
