The Great Blue Heron is considered the Portland city bird. They nest all around this area, and this is the time of year when they are choosing where to nest and raise their young. They've been staking out the conifers near the Hillsboro Public Library over the past couple of weeks, and last week I found these 2 sentinels peering down on the foot traffic. Look closely and you'll see a nest!

This morning it was snowing (see the video) and this afternoon, tiny hail and rivers in the parking area.
