The hours are ticking down to Super Bowl LI, a hotly anticipated contest between perennial contenders New England Patriots and the upstart, high-flying Atlanta Falcons.

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.

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.

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.
