I've been seeing hawks lately when I'm out looking for birds. Partly, I suspect, because I'm actually *looking*.
This one would probably have been very interested in the squirrel I spotted a minute or so earlier!

When did they install the Guardian of Forever at this park?

I think it's been about a year since a small fire burned in this corner of the marsh preserve. It's less obvious on the ground where new grass has grown, but it's clear to see on this tree where the fire burned and where it stopped.
I went hiking at a marsh preserve over the weekend and saw a ton of birds, including five different species of duck. But the coolest sighting was this red-shouldered hawk, which stood perched in a tree, looking around until it decided to fly to another tree for a different vantage point.

Winter Birds of Madrona Marsh
I haven’t seen many #butterflies at all since winter hit, and figured the #monarch migration had long since passed further south, but I found this one flitting from bush to bush along the street.
A Black Phoebe spotted on my walk to lunch, near an office building. It perched there, maybe 10 feet away from me, and actually stayed put while I walked around looking for different angles. Then it flew up into a tree.
“Yeah, I see you, camera guy. You gonna try something?”
