Found this guy on the way back from our rafting trip through the Owyhee Wilderness. Never had a Wilson's Snipe pose for me before

Visited our daughter down in CalPoly-SLO and had the chance to do some big and little birding, including some California condors (white-tag 86 & red 27) @PinnaclesNP plus this Curlew and willet combo at Morro Rock. Weather was awesome and included two rattlers

It was great to hear about the history of Old-growth forests in the PNW from Jerry Franklin, and as an added treat, to see past U.S. Representative Peter DeFazio at the NW Scientific Association meeting on the UOregon campus last week. #nwsa #uoregon #peterdefazio #oldgrowth #northwestscientific

Very excited to see this uncommon high mountain specialist up at the highest peak in the Coastal Range of Oregon. It's a gray-crowned rosy-finch. #rosyfinch #birding #birdallianceoforegon

New from the Washington Post: "Riveting Storytelling for All of America." It's their new motto, but how much truth in their stories??? I think I will stick with the NY Times. #nytimes #wapo #news #journalism #washingtonpost

For all my Mid-Atlantic ecology and botany peeps, this is a really cool vegetative history of one rare community type in an area loosely near where I used to work. It's a free download from PLoS journals.plos.org/plosone/arti...

My two favorite PNW sightings of the last year were of marbled and ancient murrelets, but the photos were bad. So, here's a better photo of something being monitored in Oregon. I hope you like this pika I spotted in Casacade Range back in October.

We have had a lot of rain recently, and it has made hiking a bit more challenging but still rewarding.

I was happy to have done my part at the Mt Pisgah Mushroom Festival recently. I spent the day talking about lichen ecology and how to ID our local species. northwest-lichenologists.wildapricot

Flew over Greenland a few days ago. That was a cool experience. I had the only open shade on the plane. Look what they all missed out on! I am guessing the mountains are flat-topped from glacial/icepack action.

I never imagined how cool the geology was going to be in the Dolomites, Italia. The area is stunning.

Excited to have seen the sacred ibis flying over the Cathedral Santa Maria Assunta built in 636 A.D., on the Island of Torcello, while escaping the news from the U.S.

Spent last week at the Society for Conservation GIS (SCGIS) mapping meeting at the USFWS National Conservation Training Center. It was a wonderful meeting. Also got to visit The NPS media center where the Park Service makes its maps.

at Jasper State Park here in Lane County, Oregon. ScottR. Is the real driving force.

I was excited to see this federally listed Foothiil Yellow-Legged Frog in its native habitat this week in the greater San Jose area. Protected lands help! #threatenedspecies #herps #frogs #amphibians

Working on the Oregon coast yesterday flying UASs for work at the Oregon Institute of Marine Bilology and came across this Semipalmated plover and Dunlin hanging out together. How cool is that!

Little bird rescue. This Anna's hummingbird got caught in our skylight. It was gone in a buzzing flash to the nearby trees the second I opened my hand. #hummingbirds #animalrescue #birding #oregon
