That Sinking Feeling…

Am I a woody?
I’ve been told this is a female downy woodpecker…but if you know better let me know. She’s the smallest of the woodies that visit my yard.
She hangs out at my house so I really should address her properly!
Who who who am I?
I love owls…and I was so excited to finally capture one. Unfortunately he was on top of a parked dump truck (thus the crop!) I think it’s a Great Horned Owl…
Faraway Friday–OHHH Bear Drool!
This funny bear kept plunging his head in the snow and then shaking head violently creating the snow spray and lovely drool lines (if you look below his left eye there are two going to the ground.)
Gotcha!
I photographed a group of these. All his friends were getting much bigger fish and gulping them in one swoop. This guy kept getting tiny lil fish.
I really like the concentric circles created from his catch.
Oyster Catcher
I had gone for a 30 mile bike ride around Whidbey Island and was waiting for the ferry to Pt Townsend. Fortunately, I had my camera. Oh what should I do with my time? Mr. Oyster Catcher gave me the answer.
But WHY can’t I pick them?
I had to go talk with this cutie’s mom. Every time I turned around she presented a great photo–those cherub cheeks! But I didn’t want her mom to think a was a weird stalker. So I sent her the files afterward. It was a win win for everyone. (Well maybe not all the flowers that got crushed or picked…)
