Views of Sequim, the Olympic Peninsula. . .and beyond
The Powerful owl is the largest on the continent. I saw someone walk by and do a double take and ran over to see what they saw–and here she was. Another local photographer told me she had two chicks that have fledged to other parts of the Botanic Garden but we never could find them.
The Australian Ibis was EVERYWHERE in all the parks. This one was taking a branch up to the nest (next photo).
This male was not happy that we stopped our canoe to watch his troupe in the tree tops. So he positioned himself over us and pooped (just missing my husband but hitting our guide). He got us moving again!
This male frigate bird puffs up his red balloon on his chest to attract females. He builds his best nest and then tries to lure the females to check it out.
Galapagos.
I’m not sure where they migrate to, but the lil cuties are gone now. Until we meet again sir.
I waited for over an hour for this eagle to take off. The light was waning away when he finally did. He looks very determined. Was that what my face looked like while I was concentrating on the shot?
Two male blue footed boobies having a stand off in the Galapagos. Animals generally were not afraid of humans and paid us no mind.
