This Western Tanager, photographed through my window screen on New Year's Day, 2005, had been feeding on old grapes for about two weeks. I have not seen the bird since then. There are only a handful of records of this species in Oregon in winter.
The Flycatcher
To describe my lifelong fascination with flight and with creatures that fly I like to echo the words of John James Audubon who in 1839 wrote of himself as "...one who never can cease to admire and to study with zeal and the most heartfelt reverence, the wonderful productions of an Almighty Creator."
