the Nature of Portland: Elk Rock Island: Nature on the Willamette

http://thenatureofportland.blogspot.com/2011/02/elk-rock-island.html

The Nature of Portland Store. Friday, February 18, 2011. Elk Rock Island: Nature on the Willamette. To get to Elk Rock Island (unless you have a boat), you first have to go to Milwaukie's recently improved Spring Park. Take the trail toward the Willamette River. The short, dirt trail leads through the woods to a low, rocky area which - during the winter high water months - is actually underwater. Hence, the name, Elk Rock Island. Tree silhouetted against the Willamette. 8226; Willamette River Floodplain.

the Nature of Portland: August 2013

http://thenatureofportland.blogspot.com/2013_08_01_archive.html

The Nature of Portland Store. Wednesday, August 21, 2013. Cascara Berries are for the Birds; Mine are for Cedar Waxwings. Hen I planted four Cascara Buckthorn. Trees in my yard several years ago, my yard didn't have much to offer the wildlife. So I couldn't wait for my new trees to mature enough to produce lots of berries, which would hopefully bring in lots of native birds during the summer months. Berries of the Cascara Buckthorn. Ecently though, I have seen Northern Flickers eating the berries. An...

Wild Fidalgo: The Habitat

http://wildfidalgo.blogspot.com/p/habitat.html

Situated between the mainland and Whidbey Island, Skagit Bay marks the northern-most eastern reach of Puget Sound. At extreme low tides, eel grass beds are exposed. They provide nursery areas for fish and crustaceans, and shore birds feed there. A colony of humans has nested in the shoreline ecotone. Where forest meets the beach:. Columbian Black-tailed Deer (.

Wild Fidalgo: Lawn Statues

http://wildfidalgo.blogspot.com/2015/04/lawn-statues.html

Monday, April 20, 2015. Some people buy plastic deer statues to put in their gardens. I have the real thing. About six months ago, I set up the BirdCam. As a "trail cam" in the west side yard. My goal was to try and catch the deer passing by on their way to the beach. The trail that ran down this side of the yard when I bought the property turned out to be a deer trail. Despite building and landscaping, they continue to follow the same path after 28 years. These are Columbian Black-tailed Deer. April 20,...

Wild Fidalgo: February 2015

http://wildfidalgo.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html

Tuesday, February 24, 2015. I have lost track of how many times I have hiked on the dike at Wiley Slough. It provides a trail deep into the wetlands of the Skagit River Delta. The site is managed by the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife. Despite all those visits, yesterday was the first time I have ever seen an American Coot. The scientific name Fulica. Which is Latin for waterfowl. The word "coot" is derived from Low German. It is similar to the Dutch word coet. I watched the trio slowly move u...
