Views of Sequim, the Olympic Peninsula. . .and beyond
One of my resident baldy’s came down to rest on the piling in front of my house. He’d been in a 20 minute tussle with several gulls that were pulling at his tail feathers. It always amazes me to see this because eagles routinely EAT GULLS.
My motto is don’t poke the bear…but it seems these gulls had had enough!
I shot this photo of a Kingfisher in the Amazon. He is very similar to ours, just a little tweak in the coloring, but just as fast!
This lil baby Frigate is wishing you all a TERRIFIC New Year!
Blue footed Boobie and chick. Their “nest” cracks me up. It’s a 3″ divot in the dirt. At least this nest was on level ground. We saw many nests on a slope where when the moved the egg it could easily roll down the hill….
There were HUNDREDS of Pelicans at the beach. I’ve never seen so many at beach after beach this summer. Something tasty must have been passing thru the waters.
These burrowing owls in Cape Coral live there year round. They are literally everywhere…in peoples yards…in EVERY soccer and baseball complex. Since they are only 9 inches tall at adulthood the city marks the burrows with PVC pipes so no one mows over them.
This was at Rialto beach on the Washington coast. There were hundreds of Pelicans this day. These two kept swimming dangerously close to these crashing waves.
