TAKE A BACKYARD WILDLIFE VACATION on Monday, April 26, 2010

Does your watching birds, squirrels, and mason bees brighten your days and serve as an oasis from the pressures of modern life? With a shaky economy and high fuel prices, and the fact that Portland summers are perfect, many of us spend a lot of time in our backyards these days. Our family enjoys hosting friends in our back yard, finding pleasure in sharing our backyard wildlife retreat. We set up a scope to let our friends watch the nesting Red-tailed Hawks, and make sure all our hummingbird and seed feeders are filled and ready for action.
