This cooper’s hawk (or maybe sharp shinned-can see the tail ends) was diving over and over in the tall grasses off 3 crabs road. Hope he got a good lunch!

Dungeness Hunting Grounds
THis eagle would fly by low and then dip into the grass over and over. I thought it wa missing its prey…but when I zoomed in I realized that each time it had a small mouse or vol in its talons that it quickly ate before diving again.

Dungeness Spit Light House
It’s a long walk to get to the light house (going back seems even longer!)
You have to time it right so that the incoming tide does not trap you. But there are picnic tables awaiting you. And you cant beat that view!
Dungeness Sanctuary
The Dungeness Spit area is home to thousands of birds. It is a terrific place to bird watch. Every year the Audubon Society has a weeklong birdfest here.
Circle of life–Eagle near the top of the food chain…
I saw this eagle taking flight and did my best to shoot from my boat that was bobbing up and down. I could tell it had something in its talons, but I thought is was wood. It wasn’t until I was editing that I saw the beak hanging to the left and realized it was a little duck…
