Cinclus mexicanus (also known as Water Ouzel) is a fairly common sight in upland creeks and streams in the Pacific Northwest and tends to be solitary. I was somewhat surprised to find two at the local kids' fishing pond today when I went down to survey the floodwaters in the Mashell. The rain was pouring down, but these birds were as happy as could be among the drops and splashes. I'm glad someone enjoys the rain!
365Caws is now in its 16th year of publication. If I am unable to post daily, I hope readers who love the natural world and fiberarts will seize those days to read the older material. Remember that this has been my journey as well, so you may find errors in my identifications of plants. I have tried to correct them as I discover them. Likewise, I have refined fiberarts techniques and have adjusted recipes, so search by tags to find the most current information. And thank you for following me!
