Love his markings in this photo.
Below- Do you see him???? Look closely....
He was catching bugs in the cobwebs and eating them.
A sunlit beauty.
A sunlit cutie.
Marsh Wren
It wouldn't be Ridgefield without seeing a Great Blue Heron or two. This one was doing the ole dunk the vole in the water trick. I guess they go down better that way.
A wisp of Wilson's Snipe
Peregrine Falcon!!!
Northern Shoveler
Bufflehead
This is one of my favorite photos of the day. This could be a Subaru ad if I had planned better. This is my friend Laura's Birding Companion and their new dog Choco, a birdwatching dog in training. He was on his first trip to Ridgefield. He smells Coyotes.
After a long hard morning of birdwatching, we went to our traditional restaurant on the Columbia river for tator tots.....
.... a nice view, and good company.

Hooray! Great photos! Love my dog's portrait ;)
Looks like a great trip but now I am craving tater tots!! The heron with the vole is awesome. Choco looks pretty cute, glad to finally see him.
Loved these photos -- they are so clear I can see feathers. And so many birds I've never seen before. Thanks for sharing your adventure.
Super photos! I loved the Golden crowned kinglet and Great Blue Heron shots and the photo of the dog and birder.
Looks like a great time.
Never heard of a restaurant serving tater tots, I used to make them from frozen many years ago.
Looks like a great day to be out. Nice photos, as always.
Good pics of good birds - Happy New Year Michele!
Looks like a great visit to the refuge. The swans are beautiful, great flight shots. And I love the cute kinglet, and both the wrens. Cool capture of the heron and I love the cute dog too. Wonderful photos. Happy Birding!
