It was quite close to the eagle's next, as a matter of fact. We watched them carry on for at least 10 minutes, but then moved on. We see the eagles and osprey almost every time we are there (at least once a week) and had never seen anything like it before. I wish we had a video camera with us!<br />Julia Richertnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6042782379701099694.post-35136937144978443102014-08-25T19:45:17.487-07:002014-08-25T19:45:17.487-07:00Thanks, Julia!

Even staying at a HoJo for weeks couldn't keep us from realizing how beautiful Oregon is!

This spring, we saw the reverse showdown between an Osprey & a Bald Eagle at Jackson Bottom Wetlands in Hillsboro (which you should totally check out if you haven't yet). The eagle was on the ground, presumably eating something (though we were too far to see for sure) and the Osprey kept dive bombing it. The eagle would shriek and flap its wings, which would drive off the Osprey for a few seconds, and then it would dive again. I wonder if the eagle stole the fish from it to begin with. It was amazing to watch. <br /><br />I hope you're all settled in now! Oregon is fantastic, but weeks in a HoJo is not exactly a great introduction to our splendor.

It was endearingly terrible, an 'any port in a storm' sort of comfort. <br /><br />I'm sorry to hear about all of the moving troubles though--that's a terrible introduction to a new town. <br />Congratulations on the lifers though; way to make some lemonade out of those birds. I have never seen a Bullock's Oriole just chillin' on the ground like that before. Everything is more chill in Oregon I guess.
