that natural A/C again

I see Portland had two days of sunshine and 69°, quite impressive for early March.  Yesterday was wonderful up here in the hills, and Kelso airport had 72° - but today the marine clouds dropped in, burned off slowly and the west wind never quite failed.  The unlucky number was 63° - a fine day at the beach, but no ocean or salty smell - and no gulls in sight.

Which reminds me: Sunday afternoon during the Super Cedar's pruning we were treated to a Bald Eagle overflight for which I wasn't quite prepared.  Even without sharp focus it's pretty clear what's up there though!  The sun shining through the tail-feathers is a mighty good giveaway..
