would love to do this coast trip with you gys someday. . .

tata!

Mary: Thanks! We were very happy to find the Blue Grosbeak.

Aullori: I know what you mean – we had the same fantasy about bringing cans of gas back with us to sell at a profit :) Lucky you to have a GHOW nearby – I hope you get a chance to photograph it, but they’re toughies for sure! The few photos I have of them aren’t all that great. I have one tattoed on my calf, so you can guess that I’m quite fond of owls :)

Just so you know I fall into the same problem going to Portland from the other side – a full dollar cheaper. It makes me want to buy a bunch of gas can’s and fill my trunk up with them when I head back… okay, okay I’m not that insane… but it’s tempting. (I have a great horned owl on the property as of recently but I just can’t seem to track him light enough to get the photo!) Your shots are fabulous!

I am looking forward to the rest of your pictures from the trip. A blue grosbeak at Sac NWR? Wow! It would be a lifer for me, too.

It’s because they realized back in the day, that if they went to self-serve there would be a lot of folks out of jobs.

I miss Oregon, sadly I will only be there for one weekend this month, but at least I get 1 day to play in Powells.

We walked around Lithia Park briefly – next time we’ll explore it more since we have the lay of the town now. I agree that Ashland is a sweet little town – we’ve been there twice so far, and look forward to our next visit.

I’m a southern girl, but I had the pleasure of living in Ashland for a couple of years, a sweet little town. Be sure and visit Lithia Park…right off the main street. I used to soooo love to go there, beautiful.

Here’s a link with a few pics of Lithia Park (doesn’t do it justice) and some history on it.

It was a dollar cheaper per gallon in Portland, and to add insult to injury, ALL gas is full-service in Oregon (you’re not allowed to pump your own).

Bernie: Well I was going to save that for my last post, but since you asked, it was 1584 miles round-trip, the longest road trip I’ve been on since I was a kid. 2400mi is quite some ways, but I envy you going to the Keys – I’m sure the birding there is fabulous!

Thank goodness I filled up today for $2.69, these are some really nice shots, especially the owl.
