This root on Protection Island is ALWAYS occupied by a bald eagle. It’s about 20ft from shore and gives a good vantage spot. (And a perfect spot to pose for passing photographers!)

NW Puffins
I didn’t even have to go to the Arctic to find these guys. They nest here at Protection Island. It’s the largest colony in the US. But these guys (there were 5 left that we could see) should have left in July or August for sure.
But thanks for hanging around guys–you’re fun to photograph!
Protection Island
I’m so glad protection island exists. In this one tiny spit on the island were three kinds of gulls, seals, bald eagles and puffins. All a 15 boat ride from my house! Oh yes and a great backdrop of the Olympic Mountains….
Crow Conversations
Why are are these people here? —- I don’t know…
There sure are a lot of boats. —–All I know is it means good eatin today!
I never get tired of Baldies
This guy was following our boat down the lake. He would fly ahead by about 20 yards and wait for us. When we caught up he’d fly the next 20 yards.
Kingfisher in flight
There are almost always Kingfishers at the three crabs estuary.
Swans in flight
Every year the swans come to Sequim to feed in the fields.
