6 miles of hiking • 750' elevation gain •
Week 4 of bird count on Powell Butte. Nice morning, but a bit breezy. Saw a Pileated Woodpecker! Also ran into a homeless camp off trail where the occupiers said they had been there for 8 months! They were very nervous around me and must have assumed I was a ranger due to my appearance.
Later in the day, I went to Mt. Tabor with the kid for a nice circumnavigation of the summit.
