Welcome to Northwest Birding! Here you'll find our latest travels to enjoy the rich and bountiful bird and wildlife in the beautiful Pacific Northwest (and places beyond). Our trips involve a combination of camping, hiking, and nature watching as well as birding. We try to find places that have a balance of all those needs. My goal of the web site is to share places I've enjoyed (and some not so much) and hopefully inspire a few to go out and enjoy the wonderful outdoors as well! And even if it doesn't inspire, I hope this web site will at least provide some source of entertainment. Updates: Work brought a rare opportunity to visit the other side of the Pacfic Ocean. I spent two weeks in on Geoje Island in South Korea. During short breaks during the day I was able to see a few of the more common birds. The trip overall wasn't "super birdy" but I did get to see some new birds and of course experience a new and interesting culture. In October, we camped at Cape Disappointment State Park. It was an unusual visit in that the weather was very pleasant! I had a great time watching the Brown Pelicans fish in the mouth of the Columbia River, and the Heerman's Gulls had a great time trying to steal food from the pelicans. We took a much needed road trip down to California. It was a lot of driving, but we had a good time camping and seeing friends. |
