These are Sanderlings, small sandpipers that stay through the winter. In
winter, a foraging flock might include several species of birds:
chickadees, kinglets, and even a Downy Woodpecker.
You can help by requesting shade-grown coffee.

If you were to pinpoint the height of bird activity on the eastern
flanks of the Cascade Mountains, you might pick the area around
Leavenworth, during the latter part of May.
Many owls appear in the Harry Potter films. Bald Eagles build large
stick nests in tall trees and reuse them year after year. They flitter
across the landscape, passing erratically before you. One of the best
ways to find a towhee is to listen for the scuffling sound it makes as
it hunts for food in the leaf litter. Storks and babies have been linked

This bird is often called the Chinese Pheasant for its country of
origin. These are Sanderlings, small sandpipers that stay through the
winter. Extremely efficient, it uses nearly all the air that passes
through it. You just might hear nighttime migrating songbirds. When the
Great Horned Owl eggs hatched in the first days of March, the downy
owlets were the size of newborn chickens and their mother brooded them
day and night. Nothing signals spring quite like the sound of a
Red-winged Blackbird, calling from the marsh.
Imagine going into battle with a Bald Eagle as a mascot, screaming high
overhead. Tree Swallows and Western Bluebirds are among the earliest

The raucous birds of the neighborhood.
Can you imagine a spring without the voices of birds? The American
Kestrel is the smallest, most numerous, and most widespread North
American falcon.
Avid birdwatchers, particularly on the East Coast, use binoculars or
telescopes to observe flocks flying across the face of the moon. In
spring, the Black-capped Chickadee adds a new vocalization to its
repertoire.
