Today I headed up to Powell Butte with two friends in search of Lazuli Buntings. I love this butte, one of several in the Portland area, because of its grassland habitat surrounded by mixed forest. We saw upwards of 30 species of birds in just a few hours. And yes, we did nab that Bunting (though some of us wish they had been a little closer). You can see more photos and details here

That's a nice photo of you. We need to meet up with you guys and go paddling together soon..probably won't happen till the end of August though.
Glad I found your blog about the Portland natural areas. Keep the pics and information coming, it is really great to see other lesser-known areas of the U.S.!
