Some birds from the Cascades




As a result of heavy snow levels, and cool spring weather, many of the anticipated summer wildflowers had not yet bloomed, and few of the ducks we encountered had ducklings.

Instead, we encountered white pelicans on 2 lakes (bottom photo).

Gaggles of Canada geese were seen on several lakes. The group at Hosmer Lake seemed very disciplined, walking in straight lines and swimming in straight lines (middle photo).

And western grebes were busy fishing on Odell Lake (top photo).
