It never gets old…
This was taken from my lil panasonic point and shoot on Jamestown Rd. Twice a week I ride with the WOW (women on wheels) group. We almost ALWAYS see Baldy’s, and usually a lot of other raptors.
We all feel incredibly blessed to live in such a beautiful place surrounded by nature. I been here for a full 7 years now as of this week…And I’m telling you it NEVER gets old!
Circle of life…
This Baldy swooped down and caught this duck just off the dungeness spit.
Out of Place…
This Great Blue heron has been consistently hanging out at this farm about 1/2 mile away from the wildlife ponds of three crabs road. There is no water here..we can’t figure it out…

So you’ve heard about my relentless pursuit of Mr. Kingfisher…
I actually got this shot the same day but at the marina. Kingfishers are always here and they like to fly back to the tops of the masts.
Anything over there?
Two eagles on watch near dungeness.
Score!
I really should go hit the 7 Winds Casino down the street…
First I got the Kingfisher, then a week later I got this Redwing Blackbird in flight. He too, I have been chasing for 7 years. I have plenty of shots of both of them sitting pretty on branches or fences. But catching either of them in flight is HARD. They are both fast, and to make things worse, Redwings fly in and out of cat tails which makes it crazy hard to keep focus.
To make things harder this bog with cat tails is right next to Hwy 101. So you have to fight the wind from cars blowing past.
