We've been in Shedd, Oregon since the middle of November,
after a three week stay in Puyallup, Washington. This year, we are special
projects hosts, which minimizes our time spent giving tours. It allows us to
help improve the mill, so that the visitors can have a better experience.
Beautiful sunrises
Great Blue Herons roosting on the mill race banks (with a
really mean look in his eye)
Frozen spider webs
More beautiful sunrises
Enough rain to flood the basement of the mill
And the floods brought their own kind of visitor
Birds, oh so many birds
Along with the rain and floods comes the debris that's
carried down the river to block our head gates
Which means we have to clear the mess so that the gates can
be opened and closed to reduce flooding.
And not to be missed are the bald eagles. We saw eight of
them on one of our short trips. Here are two of them in the same tree.
I'm sure there will be more later.
