Summers bring fantastic sunsets to my window!
Apocalypse?

CRABS, CRABS, and more CRABS!
1st–Row out set the pots/ wait at least 4 hrs and go back and get them. Sort out the females and throw them back into the water.
2nd–Get the cooker going, have ice bucket ready. Make sure you have tongs and a big glove. These guys PINCH–HARD!
Third–you have to clean them… Now you have to pull their “lids” off and take out the guts (on the right). Now you have the crab you can crack and eat (on the left)
This little spot will do..
This river otter (they live in salt water too) barely made it onto my dock before he went to sleep. I guess he was tired!
Thar she blows…
This Anna’s Hummer was hanging on for dear life this weekend. It was really blowing at the end of the bay. I only had a 50mm lens but he let me walk right up to him.
Beware–we have vultures!
There are a LOT of Turkey Vultures on the peninsula. Down at the end of Sequim Bay they were sunning themselves.
Sing baby sing!
I think this is a Song Sparrow…he at least thinks he is. I sat there watching him at the top of this branch sing away with a pretty lil song for almost a half an hour.
I was at the Jamestown S’klallam village at the end of Sequim Bay. They have lovely trails and benches to enjoy the wildife and the bay.
Wildlife Wednesday – Breeding season
You see bald eagles everywhere on the peninsula at his time of the year. They are actively hunting to feed their voracious chicks.
