Yup, it’s up on his shoulder. When the man moved around, the bird would flap around and hop down, then return. I imagine he’s a regular, and they’re all best buds.

5 years agoI had to look up Portland Winter Light Festival because I didn't know about it. Too bad we missed out on the 1st 2 years of the festival when we were still there!

Thanks so much for passing this on. It’s full of great information. I knew about the ‘pre-roost’ gathering in the park blocks, because I’ve seen them there coming out from afternoon piano recitals at PSU.

I’ll let Elizabeth know that she can just get a Harris’s hawk to help deal with the issue.

5 years agoWell, there's "grefe". How did you even spell it that way because autocorrect just fixed it when I tried it the first time.
5 years agoGood grefe. Anything else?
5 years agoApparently for some unknown reason the number of crows in Portland has increased tremendously in just the last couple of years. I heard a report about them recently.
5 years agoVerizon is spelled using a 'z'.

He’s giving it the eye, alright. It hadn’t occurred to me that Roddy was at risk.
