![]() There were four Stellar's Jays busy foraging where the forest met the beach. Alaska can be very quiet at times, but not with jays around!

![]() This grasshopper was about 5 cm (2 in) long and flew past us and landed right in the middle of the path. What great camouflage it has!

![]() Last year, we camped at Baker Bay on Dorena Lake just east of Cottage Grove. Early the last morning I took a solitary walk and saw a distant Great Blue Heron standing in this gorgeous light. Such good luck!

![]() A very handsome Stellar's Jay came out of the shadows a few times for pictures. The rest of the time, he and his buddies were very busy foraging in the shaded trees and bushes.

![]() A Western Kingbird occupied a tree that was only twenty feet or so from an Osprey nest. While I was in Spokane, I took daily walks on the Centennial trail and could always count on the Kingbird being there. He was a very reliable model as birds go.

![]() While walking back to the house where I was staying in Spokane, I noticed just the tips of a deer's ears down the slope next to the trail. I carefully moved close enough to clearly see the sweet face of this mule deer.

![]() I was on one of the bird walks in Mount Pisgah Arboretum led by Julia Siporin, when I saw my first Hairy Woodpecker. Julia was able to identify it based on the length of its bill and markings. My field guide even agreed!
