Crystal Lake, Illinois — The Hollows Conservation Area
I was walking through a wooded area when I spotted this tiny guy flitting low down the path in front of me. It was wary, and kept zipping off before I could get close. Finally, it settled in a patch of sunlight and allowed me to get close enough to get this photo.

Our hotel was on Hayden Island in the Columbia River. In the channel on the south side of the island, there’s a floating home community. I found a small park that overlooked the area and took these shots. The whole time I was there, an Osprey perched on a piling and tore apart a fish.
One final bit from Portland. After visiting Vista House, I stopped for a short time at Lewis & Clark State Park. It was close to the city and crowded. I wandered about for a bit, got good looks at a couple birds I’d seen earlier in the week and took these pictures, which I include solely for their historical connections.
