Watching this behemoth land –
Mt Baker in the background is 65 miles away, standing a proud 10,781 feet tall.

Stalking a little morsel –
Stood like that for 10 minutes without moving a muscle. The most patient bird I’ve ever seen.
On another of our beautiful Summer Spring WINTER days, I spotted this guy in the trees at Log Boom Park –
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 –
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….
‘Off that mailbox signpost! That’s government property. Move it.’ –
Unlike in the movie, this bird was going nowhere. Unless he wanted too.
This weather pattern sure has had some nice side effects, with some real nice days thrown in after the deluge(s) –
It’s got lots of us behaving like it’s springtime –
Daffodils! Didn’t they hear what the groundhog had to say last week?
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 –
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 –
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 –
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 –
Love the colors in (of?on?) the peacock –
Then it was time to quit monkeying around and clear out of there –
Thanks to the critters and Woodland Park Zoo, you’re the best.
