Pygmy Nuthatch. This cutie was busily hunting for food in the tree and barely noticed we were there. I love how feisty nuthatches are. #aovphoto #bird #nuthatch #birdsoforegon #bendphotographer (at Robert Sawyer Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/CZIlws5JAHM/?utm_medium=tumblr

Lewis's Woodpecker is one of the many species of Cascade-Siskiyou National Monument -- and one of many reasons we're concerned about Department of the Interior's recommendations to reduce this National Monument's size and protections.

We're raising our voice for Cascade-Siskiyou National Monument, one of the National Monuments that may shrink if Interior Department recommendations are enacted. The Northern Spotted Owl -- a bird listed under the Endangered Species Act -- would be one of the big losers in this decision. “Reducing protection of the owl's habitat in Oregon and California is a sure way to reduce the population of this threatened species,” says ABC's Steve Holmer.

Numbers of Vaux's Swifts roosting in Portland, Ore. are growing day by day as the birds gather for migration. Anyone else have a favorite chimney like this one (Chapman Elementary School) for swift-watching? #vauxsswifts #chapmanswifts #chapmanelementaryswifts #swiftwatch #swiftwatch2017 #migratorybirds #aerialinsectivores #swiftsofinstagram #birdsofinstagram #chimneysofinstagram #americanbirdconservancy @portlandaudubon #portlandoregon #swiftsofportland #portlandaudubon #birdsoforegon #birdmigration
