Flock of pelicans? No, they are a squadron.

Squadron of pelicans

I took today’s photo a week ago while we were at a friend’s ranch a few hours to the east of Ashland. You probably won’t see pelicans in Ashland, but they are common near Klamath Lake. This picture captures only about half of the total pelicans that made up this squadron. After gracefully circling around the property for more than 10 minutes they were scared off by a single hawk.

Upsets pave possible championship run for Ashland

AHS baseball – Eric Carlson slides into third with a triple against Dallas

@eric9carlson As I mentioned yesterday, Ashland advanced to the Quarterfinals with a win over Dallas.

The #1 seed, Bend, was upset by the #16 seed, and this is a single elimination tournament. Therefore, if Ashland can beat Sherwood (in Ashland) on Friday, they will host the Semifinal round as well. In addition, the #3 seed, Springfield, was upset so now Ashland has the second highest seed of the remaining teams.

Friday night is graduation in Lithia Park so Friday’s game will be an early, 2 p.m. start at North Mountain Park.

Ashland High School Baseball heads into final, regular-season games

This photo sequence is somewhat symbolic of the AHS season. What started out so promising (14 wins in a row) has recently slipped down the left field line (3-4 in last 7 games). However, the season isn’t over. With a doubleheader sweep @ Eagle Point tomorrow (5/17/14), the Grizzlies should have one of the top seeds in the state championship tournament. A mere 6-game winning streak to end the season is what the Grizzlies really need.

ball hit deep to left center between Sulie Augustine and Tyler Burke

The Southern Oregon University Softball Team won game one of yesterday’s doubleheader in extra innings. The play chronicled here, even though in the early innings, ultimately ended up being a game saver.
