"Posts" will appear in chronological order but that's just how a blog is set up to work. I can "label" (categorize) posts by a name or topic and that is how I see the blog being used. To find categories, look at the menu (File Cabinet) on the right. So for example if you want to see posts related to "Buck", then click on that and see them. At any time, you can click at the top of the page and go back "home". If you are in a label/category and get to the bottom of the page, look for "Older Posts" and you can continue until there are no more posts for that category.
Sawyers Landing
Welcome to Sawyers Landing. My goal is to share things I see from our backyard and neighboring woods and trails.

The early owl gets the worm
I did not realize that Barred Owls will hunt for earthworms. They are opportunistic hunters. I saw owls over three mornings after it had rained. Two of the days I saw in the same spot, and I saw them in the street, and you could tell they were grabbing something. Not great photos you can see where they were...

Pileated Woodpecker and an Eastern Bluebird
If it's sunny outside, I try to remember to take out my pocket camera in case I see something. It's not a great camera for zooming but does it faster than my phone and the pics are slightly better. Someday I will have a better camera for zooming in, but the best camera is the one you have with you.
I was out with Kyanne on Sunday standing at the top of my hill by the fence and movement in the woods caught my eye. It was a Pileated Woodpecker! Not my first sighting behind our house but it's not something you experience often so I grabbed what photos I could. It was hard to miss once you saw the size.

Spring 2025 Outdoor Refresh
NOTE FOR FUTURE - We like "Sierra Red" mulch not just "red mulch". Put out new mulch as a refresh of our front yard.
BEFORE
I also planted a 6" mini-rose bush that Jane Ferguson brought for Cindy. We'll see if it takes hold like Barbara did. Just in time for a 25-degree night.

Coyote Pics from my neighbor
Brian moves his camera around. This position was closer to the pond near the gazebo in the Tai Dam Village. Exceptional photos...
