Imposing Structure at Wheatland


On out return drive from Dancing Oaks Nursery we took
the Ferry across the Willamette River and spied this
sturdy nest at the eastern landing. The "hand of man"
is evident in the base, but otherwise it is rather
impressive.
Using her binoculars, Doris spotted 2 chicks, and
Marie and I were hoping that the other adult might
return; but no such luck.
Our Canon PowerShots aren't quite up to the challenge;
but we tried.

I'm very impressed Sally. Would love to have taken in this sight with my eyes, much less a camera. Good work.

How did you like Dancing Oaks?

The nursery is very interesting place and we need to
return -- with a sandwich -- to spend more time!

The view from the top of the hill would be spectacular,
as you mentioned, Dave, were it not for the overcast day.

That's quite a nest! And it's a good photo as well. Your Canon is really no slouch! I'll have to take a drive there sometime and see the nursery...it's sounds like a wonderful place.
