These were taken on Sunday at a pond in Portland. This one's a character, interesting to watch as Scratchy spent quite a bit of time on a log preening, scratching, hunting and chasing away ducks that would wind up on the log. Here's just some of the many photos I took.

Nice shots, Chad, and per your invitation, here are a few of mine.
These are all local birds on the fringes of Bellingham Bay. A couple of creeks that flow into the bay have nesting sites.

green herons (6)

this little fella was so busy scarfing down sticklebacks that he didn't bat an eye as i shot him for about 15 minutes from less than 12 feet away...

he did, however, raise an eye skyward when he heard an eagle in a tree nearby...

this little fella was very carefully and deliberately walking along a log... i think he was after sticklebacks... about 15 feet away...

Is it safe to say 'I'm green with envy'?
Wonderful shots. I admired everyone of them!
