BIRDS!


Boy, is Diamond Jack's ever loaded with birds! It's been here quite a while, the trees are very mature -- and the man across the yard has three feeders out. There are at least three kinds of woodpeckers -- the acorn we saw yesterday, a downy woodpecker and red-breasted sapsuckers (another life bird for Forry). We saw scrub jays, Western bluebirds, Oregon Juncos, ravens, an oak titmouse, and a few that we are going to have to watch for a better look to identify them.

We drove down to Highway 54 later in the afternoon to pick up some groceries -- and get a Coldstone ice cream fix. We came back to Diamond Jack's via the direct route -- and I know why they don't suggest that one bring an RV that way! I wouldn't even say they were s-curves, more like J-turns, making a tight turn then immediately turning back the other way!
