This Great Blue Heron was found up near Seattle this winter, and I was as cold as this birds looks to be! I happen to think the Crested Cara cara is one of the most beautiful birds in the falcon family. They stay here in Mexico despite the heat, and raise their families.

The last weekend of January found me in the frosty Pacific Northwest, meeting some long over due work and family obligations. This wonderful piece of birding real estate can be found 8 miles east of Olympia, and an hour’s drive south of Seattle Washington, right along the I-5 corridor. Nisqually Wildlife Refuge.

The end of this rather long road trip finds us here in Puyallup, Washington which is just south of Seattle. This location is great as it is close to Jeanne’s Family, as well as a very short drive to the Billy Frank Jr. It seems like the farther the north we go, the colder, and wetter, and a whole lot snowier it gets! Nisqually NWR.

The glitch in that theory is that we are continuing on around the world, and ending up back in Seattle, so we will never actually get that lost 24 hours back. Seattle to Los Angeles, to Auckland New Zealand, and then to Christchurch, N.Z. March 1st, 2018 is a day that will just be wiped from the face of my calendar.
