Views of Sequim, the Olympic Peninsula. . .and beyond
I was working on a new set of photos when I heard quite the EAGLE RUCKUS…
Multiple eagles were screeching–a lot. I ran outside and looked up to see FOUR Baldies all in a fray with two seagulls joining in. It was an aerial war zone. Two of the eagle flew away with the gulls still in hot pursuit. These two landed on a snag next to my house. They were looking very intent in different directions often screeching to let everyone know they were still there.
Not really, but I like to imagine so…
This is one of a pair that live up the bay at my friend’s property. But she (she’s larger than the male) comes and lands at the top of this medium tree whose top is exactly at my eye height when I’m sitting in my living room.
Isn’t she gorgeous?
Every year there is a rowing/gathering of the various tribes in our area. They start in British Columbia and go down Puget sound. This morning I saw our local tribe practicing on Sequim Bay. Their boat AND paddles are beautiful.
Crescent Moon Ranch has the cutest Alpacas I’ve seen. They are all “poodle cut” making them look adorable. You can buy bags of alfalfa to feed them.
The big male on the right was very protective of the “toddler sized” howler.
Protection Island was teaming with eagles all on the move.
