May 2010 – Tillamook State Forest, Oregon
The larger cousin to the Downy Woodpecker is quite a bit more shy. I couldn’t get too close for this shot… I’ll hope for a better one some day.

Vesper Sparrow
May 2014 – Pueblo Mountains, Oregon
This is a pretty crummy/blurry photo of a Vesper Sparrow, but the only one I’ve managed up to this point… so up it goes! There are a number of sparrows common to this area. I didn’t see a whole lot of Vesper Sparrows, but they were obviously mixed-in.

Hermit Warbler

June 2005 – Zigzag Mountain, OR
I heard this Hermit Warbler (and many others) for a long while before I could get a clear look. They were all in the top branches of the fir trees, which made spotting, identifying and photographing them pretty difficult. So, it’s not the best photo, but it’ll do.
Townsend’s Solitaire
Townsend's Solitaire
July 2005 – Yocum Ridge, Mt. Hood, OR
There were a number of Townsend’s Solitaires roaming the alpine landscape high on Mt. Hood’s south face. This was as good of a photo as I could muster that day.
