This Canadian goose stayed with it’s straggling gosling while the other 6 were swimming with dad…(or mom–hard to tell!)

Soon to fledge…
Glad I captured this when I did…the lil birds fledged a few days later.
King of the branch
Kingfishers are hard to catch. They are fast and very skiddish. So I shot this from very far away, down at three crabs rd.
Last Free Lunch…
Two days after I took this, the lil birds fledged..
Wildlife Wednesday- Vigilant beauty
This baldy was following us from tree to tree while we boated around Lake Crescent.
Busy Barn Swallow Hub…
No feed me!
Every year the barn swallows nest in this lil barn birdhouse (perfect home right?) There are often three chicks. One usually blocks out the hole for feeding most of the day. A second will finally get his head out enough to get fed to live and the third often parishes. They wait with their mouths closed. When I see their mouths open I know their parent has just passed overhead and will come in for a landing.
