"Birds ..."
"Birds" is my "total list" of bird images shot while photographing around Washington and Oregon. For "birder folks", this list is my "photographic lifelist".

Other "lists"
(I like keeping track of what I see where)

  • The Ridgefield National Wildlife Refuge images are by far the best images in quality, and they have their own website and separate "photo lifelist" from the non-Ridgefield places.

  • Shillapoo - Vancouver Lake includes Shillapoo Wildlife Area (a state refuge west and south of Vancouver Lake), Vancouver Lake, and the lowland area west to the Columbia River. Quite a few of the images were shot along LaFramboise Road, and includes the Swainson's Hawk.

  • Baskett Slough NWR includes the Baskett Slough National Wildlife Refuge and the surrounding areas. Baskett Slough NWR is located just west of Salem, Oregon. The Refuge, like Ridgefield NWR in Washington State, is a sanctuary for the Dusky Canada Goose.

  • Sandy River Delta includes the area on the north side of Interstate-84 encompassing both mouths of the Sandy River. It is a busy dog park with most of the birds staying in the trees.

  • "Ohio Birds" are images taken in October 2008 in the backyard of my folks who live in Silver Lake, Ohio. All images were shot with the Canon Rebel XSi, with a fixed 200mm lens.

  • I am also keeping two other "for fun" lists with "anything goes" photos. They are "Backyard Birds" and "Birds of Lacamas Lake". Images on "Backyard Birds" were often shot through a smudgy double-pane plate glass picture window. Quality is often marginal, but they represent all birds I've been able to photograph (good or bad) in and around the backyard. The images on "Birds of Lacamas Lake" are also more "snapshot-style" images, shot during lunch hours and often using a "SuperZoom".

Currently this section on "Birds" is residing on my "ColumbiaRiverImages.com" website as most of the birds have been photographed within the Columbia River corridor ... perhaps someday however it will be shifted to my "EnglishRiverWebsite.com" website, perhaps not.
