Hi I am piper. I like to bird, horse-back ride, rock climb, roller skate, read and explore. So I decided that I should start writing a blog.
My first post is when we went birdwatching at green lake,Seattle to find Common Redpolls, they had been spotted recently at Green lake. They are very rare in Seattle and are supposed to be arctic birds not city birds.They are in the Finch family. We ended up seeing them and I got really exited to see them! They reminded me of male House Finches.
