Wildlife Wednesday-Galapagos
I was snorkeling and popped up for air, and here were two Blue footed Boobies and a bunch of cactus. It was the first boobies I had seen this trip. I was so excited I dipped my snorkel and got a snootful of water.
Cedar Waxwing
I never get waxwings in my yard. But I saw him first thing at the Bloedel Reserve on Bainbridge Island.
Where’s ducky?
Can you find the duck? She’s resting on her own private island at Bloedel Reserve.
Hooded Merganzer
This was taken at Bloedel Reserve on Bainbridge Island. I was too late in the year to get the chicks.
Wildlife Wednesday-Pelicans
At the beach at Otter Rock on the Oregon Coast. I’ve NEVER seen so many Pelicans in one place. There were several hundred.
Wildlife Wednesday–Barred Owl
On my fox trip to San Juan Island my friend and I were exploring in the van, and she screamed OW! OW! or so I thought…
It was OWL! This guy had just flown to a branch parallel to the van. I stopped, got my camera climbed over (actually on top of) my friend to shoot out the window. Usually they are very skiddish, and I didn’t want to miss the shot.
After I took this, he flew to another branch about 20ft away. I was able to get out of the van and photograph him as long as I wanted. He wasn’t going anywhere.
