This just in: Thrush Nest Drives Homeowner to Asylum

I swear, these birds are going to be the death of me. I am CONSTANTLY worried about those tiny thrushes.
Must stop worrying. Where IS my medication?!
I don’t know if mama thrush has ever laid eggs before, but her nest building skills leave something to be desired. I now see why they build […]

A Baby (Bird) Story

Remember these? One more was laid after I took this picture.

Remember her? She’s a Swainson’s Thrush (I think).

As of yesterday, she has these.

Stay tuned for feathers.

At first I thought it was a robin’s eggs, but (thank you, […]

dog day

We had sun here a few days back, so I pulled out the Nikon (dog-haters, avert your eyes!).
Happily trotting…yay, my pack is outside. We call this the “yippy skippy.” Everyone must do the yippy skippy!
Like all PNW’ers, smiling in the sun.
Becca’s not Becca without rolling in some crap, which unfortunately is not a […]
