This Kingfisher had quite the grip on this lil branch to stay in the windstorm.
Aren’t his lil feet cute?

Surveying the KINGdom
My Kingfisher friend surveying the land down by the Railroad Bridge in Sequim
Railroad bridge
I was trying as many different perspectives as I could get from the same spot on the bridge. This was as high as I could get (without tempting my fate and a visit from the docents). But I like how it shows the long, long trail.
Let the blooms begin…
It’s been so windy I don’t know how all the new blossoms are staying on the trees. But they’re gorgeous.
Wildlife Wednesday
So you’ve heard about my relentless pursuit of Mr. Kingfisher…
I actually got this shot the same day but at the marina. Kingfishers are always here and they like to fly back to the tops of the masts.
Score!
I really should go hit the 7 Winds Casino down the street…
First I got the Kingfisher, then a week later I got this Redwing Blackbird in flight. He too, I have been chasing for 7 years. I have plenty of shots of both of them sitting pretty on branches or fences. But catching either of them in flight is HARD. They are both fast, and to make things worse, Redwings fly in and out of cat tails which makes it crazy hard to keep focus.
To make things harder this bog with cat tails is right next to Hwy 101. So you have to fight the wind from cars blowing past.
Johnson Creek Railroad Trestle
Sorry all for the absence…my site was having technical difficulties!
Much of the ODT (Olympic Discovery Trail) is on what what the old rail lines and bridges. Johnson Creek near John Wayne Marina is one of those.
I got up nice and early so I could lay down and get this perspective without being run over by a bicyclist!
