The high dessert museum (just south of Bend) is AMAZING and has an exhibit of river otters that have been rescued. They were so curious. this one stood on a rock in the shallows to get a good look around.

I’m not fat I’m a ground squirrel
We thought we were seeing large/fat chipmunks. But these are ground squirrels. Just slightly bigger but no stripe on the head.
Crab season is open
While boating on the hood canal we saw HUNDREDS of eagles dining on crabs during the low tide. I have NEVER seen so many eagles at one time.
Faraway Friday-Oregon Coast
One of these birds is not like the other….Did you guess oyster catcher? There was a fine buffet lunch served in the eel grass for all birdie friends.
Wildlife Wednesday-San Juan Fox

When he finished his leap all you could see was the tip of his tail…
Just Chillin’

Bullseye
The swallow parents work very hard to keep their young fed. This baby was making a clear path…
