"Mount Hood, Oregon ... July 28, 2010"

The Trip:    Our nice summer weather fizzled out ... the entire trip was overcast and really gray conditions, but we went anyways ... very quiet bird-wise at the mountain, with birds up at the stone tower being families of Cassin Finches, Oregon Juncos, a couple of Pine Siskins, and the pair of Mountain Bluebirds feeding their young ... saw Common Raven overhead and saw one Raptor fly overhead carrying a small bird ... the HIGHLIGHT however was a YELLOW CASSIN'S FINCH !!!!!!! Mount Hood, Oregon:    Mount Hood, one of the large Cascade Range volcanoes, lies about 50 miles east of Portland, Oregon. Timberline Lodge lies at the 6,000-foot level ...
