Saturday morning on Marietta Avenue


 What is it?

 It's the elusive red-tailed squirrel at Locust Street Park!


ENTINEL ERVICE. 
The "S" is silent. They offer "ire Sprinklers," which are probably used to cool off angry people.

 Does that mean it's a movable shelter?

 Love is in the air - or at least in the canoe.

According to Wikipedia: 
"The biohazard symbol was developed in 1966 by Charles Baldwin, an environmental-health engineer working for the Dow Chemical Company on the containment products. It is used in the labeling of biological materials that carry a significant health risk, including viral samples and used hypodermic needles."

 Rollin' along

 Painting it backwards only compounds the error.


 Notice at 30 North Second

The owners want to convert a three-unit apartment into a rooming house.

 These young birds, at least one of which is a grackle, were waiting to be fed last week at Columbia River Park.

 The one in the middle was particularly vocal.

 This young sparrow found a unique resting place.

 Probably not a good place to be in an electrical storm, though.

Feeding time on Avenue H

House sparrows were sighted feeding their young along the 300 block of Avenue H a few weeks ago. House Sparrows eat insects and feed them to their young.
