Hello Elizabeth! This is Susan Blair in Wenatchee.
Thank you for sharing this notice about the *Cascadia Field Guide *- I will order a copy – and congratulations on having your poem included in it.

Thanks so much, Susan! I think you’ll really enjoy this marvelous collection.
I have always been mesmerized by the rufous. I first experienced them at Holden Village. They flew in hordes….fierce, territorial and beautiful. We would sit by the feeders and let them fly around our heads and faces.
