This male Howler monkey was NOT happy that our canoe stopped near his troop. He kept hollering and when we did not move he climbed out on a branch over our boat and pooped. Needless to say that got us moving!

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.

This is a regular land iguana basking in the sun.
Wildlife Wednesday–Galapagos
What do you call a group of Marine Iguanas? A MESS–no seriously that is really what it’s called! We got off our zodiak and started walking the trail in search of iguanas. When I turned the corner, I almost stepped on one. Then I realized there were hundreds of them everywhere.

This sea lion was having fun following us as we snorkeled. (Sea Lions have ears-seals do not)
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.
Did you hear that??
The foxes have VERY acute hearing and hear the voles/moles/rabbits underground…stop and then pounce and dig like crazy if needed.
