Western Tanagers are distinctive summer visitors to our area and the
only tanagers seen regularly in Washington. But throughout history, the
owl has received mixed reviews.
Phalaropes are sandpipers that make their living from the sea. But
before they go, they gather together in large flocks and swirl down into
a hollow tree or chimney for the night.

Some people specialize in a particular bird. He will fly after dark to
avoid the threat posed by hawks and falcons.
A clean feeder is a life-and-death matter to some birds. And, for their
weight, its feathers are among the strongest structures in the world.
Others only winter here, having nested farther north. Overhead, a
Red-tailed Hawk catches an updraft as it migrates south. This proud
dignitary appears along the sidelines during every home game. Thanks to
Harry Potter, the owl is flying high. The finches of the Galapagos
Islands are famous in the history of evolutionary theory.
After breeding on the Arctic tundra, they migrate to the open ocean.
Movie-makers love to add bird sounds to a film, to evoke a mood or set a
scene.
Dashing headlong toward an unyielding wall, the birds disappear at the
last second into a slender crevice.

Phalaropes are sandpipers that make their living from the sea. Where can
you see this?
Severe storm winds not only kill many birds but blow others, especially
seabirds, far from their normal range. Hurricanes bring tragedy to birds
and other wildlife. Or do its neck feathers hide some anatomical secret?
The swallows have flown south, in search of insects.
This Laysan Albatross, with a wing span of about seven feet, is
completely at home in the vastness of the open ocean.
Although these swallows often nest as single pairs in cavities or
nesting boxes, both adults and juveniles now gather on electrical wires
by the dozens, socializing before they migrate. Western Tanagers are
distinctive summer visitors to our area and the only tanagers seen
regularly in Washington. The Greater Roadrunner is a common species in
the desert and brush country of the Southwest, but its full range
reaches from California to western Louisiana.
After breeding on the Arctic tundra, they migrate to the open ocean.
Cackling Geese are similar to the Canada Geese that breed farther north
and commonly winter along the Pacific coast. Birds usually fly
relatively low. Cackling Geese are similar to the Canada Geese that

sometimes take a terrible toll on birds and other wildlife.
Last year, the Seahawks won every game when he was in the stadium. Where

This nondescript bird steps off a small boulder right into the torrent,
and begins to peer under water.
What brings these tropical birds to our waters? Through all of spring
and summer, swallows dart and sail overhead, their airborne grace a
wonder to behold.

shrimp is stirred up for the gulls to harvest. But before they go, they

chimney for the night. Right now a flock of Bar-headed Geese could be
flying over Mt. Side by side, in half an inch of water, they stomp their
feet as fast as they can.
Both nested in Alaska last summer, but will spend September to May in
the Pacific Northwest.

Boobies are related to pelicans and cormorants and are normally seen
only in the tropics. The finches of the Galapagos Islands are famous in

Puget Sound is one of the most fertile saltwater habitats in the world,
and every winter, waterfowl migrate from afar to feast on its bounty.

These are American Crows with a purpose. A robin will swallow half a
dozen berries, at least, in rapid succession.
Hurricanes, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, floods, and forest fires
all can kill birds in great numbers. Under the Migratory Bird Treaty
Act, Osprey nests are protected, even on cell towers.
Although many resident birds are still here, their voices are now quiet.
But before they go, they gather together in large flocks and swirl down
into a hollow tree or chimney for the night. What we hear as a blur of
sound, the Winter Wren hears as a precise sequence of sounds, the visual
equivalent of seeing a moving film as a series of still pictures. And
how can you help stranded birds? The cool, coastal fog of Washington
lifts on a fall morning, revealing a monumental natural drama.
Movie-makers love to add bird sounds to a film, to evoke a mood or set a

Through all of spring and summer, swallows dart and sail overhead, their
airborne grace a wonder to behold. Is that big black bird a crow or a
raven? Among the most evocative sounds of early autumn are the voices of
migratory geese, flying overhead in V-formation.
Others are drawn to a special place.
Mid-September approaches; the mornings are chilly.
Puget Sound is one of the most fertile saltwater habitats in the world,
and every winter, waterfowl migrate from afar to feast on its bounty.
Have you noticed groups of crows flying overhead in the late afternoon,
wheeling and diving? But by October, the skies seem empty.
Sooty Shearwaters, moving south.
In truth, they stood among courting pairs of seabirds called
Wedge-tailed Shearwaters. Ravens often travel in pairs, while crows are
seen in larger groups. Hurricanes, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions,
floods, and forest fires all can kill birds in great numbers. After

Under this pummeling, a smorgasbord of shrimp is stirred up for the
gulls to harvest. For two weeks, the adults have not offered food to the
young, but the owlets, now six months old, have become proficient
hunters.
Right now a flock of Bar-headed Geese could be flying over Mt.
The Snow Geese are returning, too. Dashing headlong toward an unyielding
wall, the birds disappear at the last second into a slender crevice.
Plain Chachalacas and Great Kiskadees join in the chorus. Tens, perhaps
hundreds of thousands of seabirds circle low over the ocean, the tips of
their long narrow wings just grazing the waves. Its soft cooing voice
hints at its connections to anther bird: scientists group roadrunners
with the cuckoos. But by October, the skies seem empty. Putting out a
feeder is easy. Right now a flock of Bar-headed Geese could be flying

This Laysan Albatross, with a wing span of about seven feet, is
completely at home in the vastness of the open ocean.
They are typically found in open coniferous or mixed coniferous and
broadleaved forests, and seem most at home in the dry Douglas-fir
forests of Eastern Washington.
