Trip to Grants Pass

Boy I didn't realize how bad it had been being stuck in the house for so long. I was able to go down to see the grand-kids in Grants Pass. There was no birding planed because Les, Sabrina and Daphne were with me this time. But I still got some birding in on the porch. My friend Cheryl lives in Merlin which is out in the woods. Her yard has many birds.

I was able to see:

Red-breasted Sapsucker
   (not the best picture)

Golden-crowned Kinglet
   (have never gotten a photo till today)
Took about a half an hour of patients.

          

Hairy Woodpecker
  I've seen them but never got a photo till now.

It turned out to be a good time for the short time we were there..

Got to see the Grandchildren. My grandson Reese seems to be interested in birding. My friend Cheryl and her husband Ron, gave him a small pair of binoculars. He enjoyed watching the birds in her yard. I gave him my Sibleys book and he was pretty excited. A birder in the makings.
