It was amazing how many birds we have here in Sequim that have a same counterpart for in the Amazon (ours is called a Piliated woodpecker)

A time for reflection
This beautiful mallard was doing all sorts of moves to attract the attention of a female in the pond across from John Wayne Marina. He caught my attention–I think he was disappointed!
I’m keeping an eye on you.
This Barred owl stayed in the tree for hours…but most often kept one eye sort of open.
When you got an itch…
Scratch it! This Mallard duckling had a good scratch at Carrie Blake pond.
Wildlife Wednesday-Galapagos
The great Blue Heron can be found in the Galapagos too! You can tell we’re not in Sequim with the black lava and Salley crabs.
I’m waiting patiently….
This tree swallow chick is waiting for one of its parents to bring some yummy take out home.
I am PUFFIN
Tufted Puffin. Protection Island used to have the largest breeding colony on the west coast. Unfortunately the predation by bald eagles on the island has driven them off. This year the most I’ve seen is six…This brave guy is looking for a soulmate.
