Aratinga Tours

I highly recommend Pieter at Aratinga tours to book reservations, local guides, rental cars or transport. More a travel agent for birders than a tour company. aratinga-tours.com

It's that time of the year when Bushtits are all into the willow pollen and look altogether like Verdin. Pacific Yellow-faced Tit? #birding

It was a total fluke. Everyone was excited, especially our local guide. You know it’s a good bird when the guide gets animated

Red-headed woodpecker hanging on the side of her nest hole with some food in her beak. Her body is black with two thin white stripes from her neck to her shoulders. The background is blurred green and brown branches.

We successfully twitched a locally rare Eastern Phoebe at Basket Slough NWR today, but at distant range so got no decent pics. But this Song Sparrow serenaded us most of teh morning as we watched the field for our target #bird

We stopped in Enterprise, Oregon at Terminal Gravity for a beer and lunch while #birding Wallowa County and were given a glass egg by the local glass blower, asking us to hide it at our next stop, so we hid it in the Imnaha Chief.

#BirdoftheDay is #WinterSurvivors? We’ve not had much of a winter in the Pacific Northwest so I’ll share this Snowy Owl we saw in Washington state far south of its normal range in 2024
