VH-KDK Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 Finally got the time to do a flight after a week. I am confined to the house with a heavy cold and my bird who normally comes out in the afternoon is confined to her cage for a couple of days for being very naughty yesterday afternoon. 1. Old Henry is reading the paper but when asked if he believed all the rubbish in the press these days he said, no but the porta loo is out of paper so I am reading this while I wait my turn and then I will put it to it's proper use. 2. We are of course at 7S3 Stark's Twin Oaks. 3. Approaching SW River Road, this is Oregon's wine country. 4. Arlington Heights and Washington Park with the beautiful sight of Portland. 5. Over the Willamette River with the Ross Island Bridge and beyond that the Marquam Bridge taking interstate 5 over the river. 6. Threading our way over KPDX and the Columbia River. Government Island is crossed by the Glenn Jackson Bridge which carries the War Veterans Memorial Freeway (I205). Lest we forget. 7. At Riverview and over East Evergreen Bvld. Now the bad news...….to be continued. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is some magnificent scenery in this part of the world. I have a blue and gold Macaw, only 8 months old. I also have a 6 yo pair of macaws outside in an aviary, soon ready for breeding I hope.
