Great Blue Heron

Great Blue Herons build stick nests in communal heronries, as captured here by Michael Hobbs, above, and by Diann MacRae, right.

Anecdotal reports currently being investigated point to Bald Eagle predation as an increasing challenge for Puget Sound herons.

Field Notes

You might call this a U.P. Robin, standing either for “unpainted” or for University Place, Tacoma, where Ruth Sullivan caught this oddity 5/6/2001

Ruth Sullivan found this Bar-tailed Godwit among numerous Marbled Godwit at Tokeland, Pacific, on September 24, 2000.

Ruth Sullivan photographed this Stilt Sandpiper on Brady Loop Rd., Grays Harbor, on September 3, 2000
