Formerly called the Rock Dove, the Rock Pigeon is the quintessential
urban bird.
Except in winter, when it gathers in loose flocks to move to lower
elevations, this shy bird prefers solitude. With names like the
Screaming Piha, the Blue-crowned Motmot, and the Black-necked
Red-Cotinga, these are not your average birds.

civilizations were keen to have high birthrates. A pint-sized Northern
Pygmy-Owl, not much bigger than a pine cone, hoots from a tree-top on a
winter morning.
You can help by putting out nectar feeders beginning in early March.
Calling again, the Scrub-Jay perches boldly upright atop a tall tree,
its long tail spiking downward. Except in winter, when it gathers in
loose flocks to move to lower elevations, this shy bird prefers
solitude. You can find European Starlings in huge flocks from coast to
coast, and from Northern Canada deep into Mexico.
Along the Columbia River, apples litter the ground, and a few still
hang, frozen and thawed again and again. Snow Geese migrate long
distances, stopping at traditional stopover and wintering areas.
Long-necked and long-legged, these grayish cranes stand three feet tall.

birdwatching, and sometimes that luck is mostly bad.
These nests endure rough treatment.
And the birds sound different, too! What is the connection between the
blood-curdling roar of a Tyrannosaurus rex and the gentle song of a
robin? By March, Rufous Hummingbirds are returning to our region, after
wintering in Mexico. A light snow falls on her back, as her mate roosts
nearby. A pint-sized Northern Pygmy-Owl, not much bigger than a pine
cone, hoots from a tree-top on a winter morning. In winter, a foraging
flock might include several species of birds: chickadees, kinglets, and
even a Downy Woodpecker. According to myth, Thunderbird was so large and
flew so high, it carried the rain on its back and created lightning and
thunder.
Washington's population nests on Wrangel Island in Russia, northwest of
the Bering Strait, and winters on the deltas of the Samish,
Stillaguamish, and Skagit Rivers. But a cavalry regiment from Wisconsin
actually had an eagle that accompanied it during the Civil War. Western
Scrub-Jays are on the move.
At first glance, a Varied Thrush can appear to be a robin.
the largest and tallest bird on the planet.

The Upper Skagit River in northwest Washington is a favorite sashimi

Both species will nest only in cavities, such as old woodpecker holes or
man-made nestboxes. There is an element of luck in birdwatching, and
sometimes that luck is mostly bad.
Urban owls escape the harsh weather of northern Canada or the Cascade or
Rocky Mountains, spending the winter in somewhat milder climes.
Snow Geese migrate long distances, stopping at traditional stopover and
wintering areas.
There is an element of luck in birdwatching, and sometimes that luck is
mostly bad. But many remain, and even the shy and secretive sometimes
reveal themselves.
So they called this one a Robin, too.
A striking vision amid the open habitats it prefers, the Black-billed
Magpie is a familiar sight throughout much of the West. Birders across
the country count birds in parks or fields or their own back yards, and
then report the numbers on-line.
A Spotted Owl hoots from deep within a Northwest forest, calling out a
four-note sequence distinctive of the species. Washington's population
nests on Wrangel Island in Russia, northwest of the Bering Strait, and
winters on the deltas of the Samish, Stillaguamish, and Skagit Rivers.
Birders across the country count birds in parks or fields or their own
back yards, and then report the numbers on-line. Although Common Loons
rarely breed in Washington State, large numbers do visit during winter.
During winter, Bald Eagles retreat from the territories where they
breed, to seek out rivers rich with spawning and spent salmon. But a
cavalry regiment from Wisconsin actually had an eagle that accompanied
it during the Civil War. Parakeets in the wild? Rambunctious chicks pull
sticks out and flap madly, holding on with their feet, before they
fledge. Storks and babies have been linked together for centuries.

Imagine going into battle with a Bald Eagle as a mascot, screaming high
overhead.
