"Birds ..."
"Birds" is my "total list" of bird images shot while photographing around Washington and Oregon since 2007 ... I added a few birds from Ohio in 2008 and birds from a trip to Maryland and Arizona in 2010 ... so, in other words, this list is my "photographic lifelist" ... Scroll down to see list.

Also check out:

  • The Ridgefield National Wildlife Refuge images is a collection of just those birds seen and photographed on the wildlife refuge. They are by far the best images in quality, and they have their own website and separate "photo lifelist" from the non-Ridgefield places.

  • "Trips" is a collection of trips taken in addition to Ridgefield NWR, with the page arranged by date, location, and calendar, and each trip showing birds seen and/or photographed. I began this list in June 2010, but have added earlier trips as I get more organized ... and note --- a "trip" can be either hours driving away from home, or just a couple of hours to a spot across town, and may include LOTS of birds, or even just one.

And check out:

  • Birds of Lewis and Clark is a collection of birds seen or mentioned by Lewis and Clark, with images, researcher's comments, and passages from the journals.

Other pages to look at:

  • "Backyard Birds" images were often shot through a smudgy double-pane plate glass picture window. Quality is often marginal, but they represent all birds I've been able to photograph (good or bad) in and around the backyard ... also included is a "for fun" section called "BIG Birds".

  • "BirdSongs". A fun collection of recordings I've made of bird calls and songs taken in the field ... arranged by species.

  • Columbia River near PDX, Portland, Oregon. Birds photographed along the Oregon side of the Columbia River from the I-5 bridge to just east of the I-205 bridge ... ncludes Hayden Island and Broughton Beach, and the bike/walking path along the Columbia.

  • Eagle Creek Overlook is a spot at the mouth of Eagle Creek, Oregon, which overlooks waters behind the Bonneville Dam. This page is a collection of birds I've photographed there. You never know what you'll see when you stop there and look over the waters.

  • "Freeway Birds" is a list begun in late spring 2011, of any bird Gene and I could identify while driving the freeways, the main rule being that driving speeds had to be 50 mph or greater.

  • Julia Butler Hansen National Wildlife Refuge, Washington

  • King's Pond, Vancouver, Washington, is the little local pond wedged on the north side of Highway 500 and the houses of the Roads End neighborhood. It is located near our house. Includes information on white-shielded Coots.

  • Lacamas Lake is more "snapshot-style" images, shot during lunch hours around Lacamas Lake and Round Lake, east of Vancouver, Washington. Since I've retired I seldom get here anymore. This page shows images, good or bad, of the 85 species of birds I have seen there.

  • Mount Hood, Oregon, Timberline Lodge area.

  • Sandy River Delta, Oregon, is also called "1000 Acres Park", and is a large off-leash dog park north of Interstate 84 and east of Portland, with meadows, wetlands, and woods. We dont go often, but there is always something to see when we do ... this list shows photographed birds, not total species.

  • Sauvie Island and Scappoose Bottoms, Oregon.

  • Shillapoo - Vancouver Lake, Vancouver, Washington, includes Shillapoo Wildlife Area (a state refuge west and south of Vancouver Lake), Vancouver Lake, and the lowland area west to the Columbia River. Quite a few of the images were shot along LaFramboise Road, and includes the Swainson's Hawk.

  • Steigerwald Lake NWR, Washougal, Washington, is a small Refuge located east of Washougal at the western end of the Columbia River Gorge.

  • Waterfront Renaissance Trail, Vancouver, Washington, is a five-mile-long path on the Washington side of the Columbia River, from Wintler Park to Vancouver Landing.

  • Westmoreland Park, Portland, Oregon, is a small park with pond located in southwest Portland near the Willamette River. It attracts a variety of winter waterfowl, plus LOTS of Gulls.

NOTES ...

  • The Barnacle Goose, seen at Ridgefield NWR is not considered a wild goose, but an escapee, and therefore not countable by traditional standards.
  • The Chineese Swan Geese, Embden Goose, and the Muscovy Duck are most likely domestic escapees, or the kids of domestic escapees, and are also considered non-countable.
  • The Mute Swan is non-native and not an established species in this area. It is comparable to a zoo bird.
  • The Monk Parakeet colony most likely originated from escapees way back when and are currently not considered an established species.
