This Baldy swooped down and caught this duck just off the dungeness spit.

Out of Place…
This Great Blue heron has been consistently hanging out at this farm about 1/2 mile away from the wildlife ponds of three crabs road. There is no water here..we can’t figure it out…
Anything over there?
Two eagles on watch near dungeness.
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.
Faraway Friday-Atlantic Puffins
These love birds (with a Brunnich’s Guillemot peeping tom below) were doing a reunited beak dance. Each time one came back to the nest they would rub their beaks together back and forth.
I took this at Alkefjellet in the Arctic.
This Baldy pair have a nest about 20
This Baldy pair have a nest about 20 ft below on this snag. The one on the left is the female. They are about 25% larger than the males. Females weigh 10-15lbs and the males 6-9 lbs.
