Spring is in the air –

 

Flier

 

 

Also that 767 heading for Hawaii….

Youngster

On another of our beautiful Summer Spring WINTER days, I spotted this guy in the trees at Log Boom Park –

 

Bald Eagle

 

Just a youngster, not quite a full head of white, and the tail is just getting started –

And not for nothin, but I wouldn’t scratch my chin with those hooks attached to me fingers! You could easily lose an eye that way –

 

Scratch

 

 

I suppose he or she knows what they’re doing….
Good looking bird. Keep your cats and small dogs inside, this one’s still growing….

Sums up today’s weather

Just like this one, don’t know why –

 

Driftwood

 

 

 

Carry on.

Animal House

‘Off that mailbox signpost! That’s government property. Move it.’

 

Mine

 

 

Unlike in the movie, this bird was going nowhere. Unless he wanted too.

Pineapple Express

This weather pattern sure has had some nice side effects, with some real nice days thrown in after the deluge(s) –

 

Nice out

 

 

It’s got lots of us behaving like it’s springtime –

 

Daffodil

 

 

Daffodils! Didn’t they hear what the groundhog had to say last week?

More from the zoo

The heron was looking none too pleased with the results of his attempts at poaching the penguins’ lunch –

The penguins were laughing at the heron –

Ask my New Zelander friend why he’s hiding behind the tree, and he’ll tell you it’s because they’re all a bunch of criminals –

 

Kangaroo

 

The Grey Wolf was not hiding from anyone –

It’s cause he know the lion was sleeping –

And the bear was just behind the lion on the way to Sleepy Town –

 

Bear

 

Amazing any of them could get to sleep considering all the racket the Steller’s Sea Eagle was making. Larger than a Bald Eagle, and with one heck of a voice, (not to mention the clamps on his feet and the can opener attached to the front of his face). There was not enough separating me from this one, so click, click, boogie it was –

 

Eagle

 

Then there was the Peregrine Falcon, who quite simply is a bad-ass! Another situation where there was nothing between my carcass and the bird of prey. Thankfully, his trainer was there with lunch, and thus I was spared –

 

Facoln with lunch Peragrine Falcon PLEASE I'm eating here

 

 

Love the colors in (of?on?) the peacock –

Then it was time to quit monkeying around and clear out of there –

 

Monkey

 

Thanks to the critters and Woodland Park Zoo, you’re the best.

Pretty bleak out

Rains were in charge today. Never really let go of their hold. Made the whole day look like a hangover. And some party-pooper city employee in charge of protecting us from ourselves preventing lawsuits against the city/county/state had to remind me that monkeying about on the seawall was a no-no –

 

Danger

 

 

 

At least they asked nicely.
Otherwise I was climbing up there and doing back flips and handsprings and stuff. I got that in my repertoire.
They couldn’t have stopped me ya know.
