Good morning, #Portland! #snow #PowellButte

I swear I wasn't imagining this. While out for a hike in #PowellButte, I saw what seemed to be a hummingbird hovering, except it was too large. As I got closer I thought it might be a drone. It suddenly took off and I saw it was a #bird. I thought perhaps it had just been an optical illusion but I saw the bird do this over and over, from different angles. My guess is, it would fly directly into the wind at a relative speed to maintain its current position. I've never seen a bird do that before!

Took a couple pics of the #Bronco in "safari mode" - back windows out, sides down - with our nearest mountains in the background. Nice way to get the open-air feel, to a degree, without getting cooked. #Bronco6g #BroncoBigBend #FordBronco #FordBronco6thGen #MtHood #MtStHelens #PowellButte #Gresham #Oregon
