This gorgeous Barred owl hung out at my friends house for a good 40 minutes.

Bye Bye Birdie
This BEAUTIFUL Western Tanager and a few of his friends come to our area (and my bird feeders) each summer. The first time we saw one we thought somebodies exotic bird got loose it was so vibrant compared to all the other birds. They have flown south for the winter.

Motor on Mr. Puffin
I took this off of protection island a few months ago. We could only find 3 puffins. This used to be one of the largest colonies on the west coast. I talked with a marine biologist who said it was predation by eagles that have changed this area. Too many chicks picked off so they don’t return. So sad…they are really cool birds.
