 A cedar waxwing takes in the view while preparing to devour some mountain ash berries. Waxwings are flocking up at this time and seeking out fruit. Favorites might include the smallest crabapples, hawthorne, Peking cotoneaster and highbush cranberries. Later in the season, the larger Bohemian waxwings will migrate from the north and begin foraging in local backyards. JIM WARD photo |

 For a male valley quail, pleasing the ladies includes finding a lofty perch and singing melodiously. Keeping one’s topknot preened and in good condition can help. The birds were introduced to Northeast Oregon in the early 1900s and have done well. Nesting later than most game birds tends to improve brood success by missing early, cold rains. The valley quail season runs through Jan. 31. JIM WARD photo |

 Fisherman all seem to have their own time-tested methods of catching fish. Two-year-old James Ward prefers the hands-on approach. Not unlike a big-game hunter, his habit of smearing fish scales and slime all over his clothes tends to mask human odors and allows for a silent assault. Although Thief Valley Reservoir was drained almost dry it is refilling and will soon be restocked with more fish. Pilcher Creek Reservoir is closed for the winter. JIM WARD photo |
