Wildlife Wednesday– The Crossing

Millions of wildebeest cross this river during the great migration in Tanzania. They jumped off the cliff on the other side causing a large dust cloud.

This beautiful bird has been hanging out at my house the past few weeks. He’s super skiddish and I had to take this hiding thru my window. My cat’s always spot him first. I see them freeze while looking up, then I see him. He sweeps his head side to side to look at us. But if I move too fast to get my camera he spooks and flies away.

It took quite a lot of discussion with my birding friends to figure out what he is. He has been identified as a Red Tail Hawk.

He is gorgeous!

Twins

You have to be careful drving up to Hurricane Ridge in the spring as tons of baby fawns are running across the road where it’s easier to walk. Their mamas are always herding them back to tasty morsels to eat.

Who needs Siberia? I have Sequim!

Miss Bon Bon (my siberian) LOVES the snow. She doesn’t get to see it often here in Sequim. But it seems like every two years she get a week to exercise her full Siberian-ness. (I know my high school english teacher is rolling in her grave at my grammar…sorry Mrs. Persons.)

We had a VERY white Christmas here this year with 10 inches initially and about two more this week with temperatures in the teens–and THAT is very unusual.
