We love our neighborhood Anna’s Hummingbirds here in Edmonds and though we rarely see any other species around here, there are four Hummingbirds you can see in Washington State if you know where to look.

Back to Whidbey Island for a Memorial Day weekend visit. We took some time early one morning to head into the South Whidbey State Park forest to see what we would find. There are some very large old-growth trees here, a great place for birding as is most of Whidbey Island.

Looking for a weekend away for our 15th anniversary we chose Walla Walla for a getaway to do some birding, drink some good wine, and eat some good food. We accomplished all of these things and had an excellent weekend!

Sunny spring mornings are an excellent time for Birding! We have been lucky to have a solid couple of weeks of sun this May after what seemed endless rain in April. We had never visited Llandover Woods Greenspace just south of Shoreline off of Greenwood but with the excellent weather we decided to head out early on a Saturday to see what birds we could see.

After seeing many photo’s of local Wood Ducks we decided we needed to see one for ourselves. Two spots locally had recent sightings so we decided to visit both. I often play soccer at Twin Ponds Park but had never actually hiked around the the park’s namesake ponds.

There we were in the forest on a quest to spot and capture the image of a Great horned owl. The temperature was cool, the air moist and the atmosphere calm. We knew it was just a matter of time because in previous days we had spotted our friends.

Some of my favorite PNW birds are the little ones that like to hide, they rarely come to our backyard bird feeder but aren’t uncommon. Warblers, Kinglets, Nuthatches, and Creepers all fit into this category for me, you tend to hear them a lot more than you see them.

On our trip to Theler Wetlands we ran into a birder who told us to make sure to visit the Billy Frank Jr. Nisqually National Wildlife Refuge. We have driven past here many times on trips south to Portland, it is right off I-5, very easy to get to but not too close to Edmonds where we live.

Living in the Pacific Northwest we have a lot of great local parks for birding. For us in Edmonds Yost park is excellent year round and is great for a lunch time walk. It is also known for it’s pair of Barred Owls that live there and are seen or heard regularly.
