Hog Island is a 330-acre island off the coast of Maine, about an hour and a half north of Portland. The mission of wildlife rehabilitators is to return injured birds to the sky, or the sea, or wherever it is they came from. A half-hour boat cruise around Eastern Egg Rock gave me a glimpse of seabird paradise, then yanked it away.

Here in Portland, Oregon, it is more frequently too rainy rather than too cold to go birding, at least comfortably. I haven’t even been to all of the best national wildlife refuges for birding. I am a westerner who has lived in San Francisco and Portland my entire birding life. 10, Mountain Quail at No.
