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 ... To see a listing of birds seen and/or photographed over the years at the Timberline area of Mount Hood ... click here.
