The male Willow Ptarmigan sounds like he might be laughing, or at least
doing his best to make others laugh. Both Douglas squirrels and the firs
they call home bear the name of David Douglas. 
You'll find excellent birdwatching and an impressive array of
bird-related activities. Perhaps the most familiar duck in the
Northwest, the Mallard is a large and heavy bird. Robins form monogamous
pair bonds that last through the breeding season, and the males are very
protective of their turf. 
The intricate pattern of color on its wings resembles dappled sunlight
on the forest floor. 
The House Sparrow was first introduced into the U. 
You can help by putting out nectar feeders beginning in early March.
They flitter across the landscape, passing erratically before you. 
When the Great Horned Owl eggs hatched in the first days of March, the
downy owlets were the size of newborn chickens and their mother brooded
them day and night. During spring, the male pheasant establishes his
territory and attracts one or more females into his harem. At first
glance, a Varied Thrush can appear to be a robin. 
As a maker of silly sounds, he beats the Three Stooges hands down. 
Avid birdwatchers, particularly on the East Coast, use binoculars or
telescopes to observe flocks flying across the face of the moon. 
Bald Eagles build large stick nests in tall trees and reuse them year
after year. This bird is often called the Chinese Pheasant for its
country of origin. The state of Washington is fortunate to host four
breeding species of hummingbirds. 
Tonight and throughout this month, songbirds are traveling north on
their annual spring migration. 
Sage Sparrows are arriving north from wintering in the Southwest
deserts. Except in winter, when it gathers in loose flocks to move to
lower elevations, this shy bird prefers solitude. 
The state of Washington is fortunate to host four breeding species of
hummingbirds. 
But the supply is limited. 
Unless kids are introduced purposefully to nature, they may understand
the plight of the Amazon rain forest, but never dampen their feet in a
local stream. One person's dedication can make a difference, as it did
with Kevin Li and Puget Sound's Purple Martins. 
Their striped plumage perfectly imitates surrounding vegetation. In
addition to its stentorian voice, the small, nondescript Pied-billed
Grebe has an even more astonishing talent. 
Nothing signals spring quite like the sound of a Red-winged Blackbird,
calling from the marsh. But a cavalry regiment from Wisconsin actually
had an eagle that accompanied it during the Civil War. You just might
hear nighttime migrating songbirds. In many songbirds, the
song-producing apparatus known as the syrinx is not much bigger than a
raindrop. The song comes from above, as a male Horned Lark hovers on
fluttering wings, describing a large circle a hundred feet above the
ground. One of the best ways to find a towhee is to listen for the
scuffling sound it makes as it hunts for food in the leaf litter. 
These are Sanderlings, small sandpipers that stay through the winter.
Many bird species eat alone, so you might wonder why these birds have
chosen to dine together.
