    San Juan Island stars

    I was not expecting to see this many stars from San Juan Island, but once I went outside and saw how many stars there were I ran back inside to get my camera and tripod! This is a composite of 174 pictures to get the star trails (equivalent to leaving the shutter open for about an hour and a...

    Whalecome to the pod, L-122

    Whalecome to the pod, L122! On Monday I went whale watching out of San Juan Island, and had no idea just how special this day would be. We saw L122, a new calf belonging to the L-pod of our endangered Southern Resident orcas that was seen for the very first time today. According to the Center...

    Pied-billed grebe chick

    It's good to be back after a bit of a break, hopefully I'll be more active after finals are over next week! This afternoon I saw a pied-billed grebe with it's chick. These birds are known to ride on their parents' backs when they're young, but I think this one's outgrown that. Wishing you the...

I initially had the wrong tree, so thank you Rocky for the tip, otherwise I probably would have been waiting for a while at the wrong tree! There's also a second pair working on another nest on the snag to the right of...

    Shorebird Identification - Semipalmated Sandpiper?

    I had a wonderful morning birding on Jetty Island today. I am new to shorebirds, and looking through my bird guide I think this is a semipalmated sandpiper, but would like confirmation. Thanks!

    heron vs eagle

    Today I watched a great blue heron get attacked by red-winged blackbirds for over an hour at Juanita Bay Park. The heron finally got a break from the attacks, and caught itself a fish to eat. Little did the heron know, that a bald eagle was perched on a tree above it, just waiting to steal its...

    Nisqually Owls

    It was a windy and very wet weekend at Nisqually NWR, but I still got some good views of the three great horned owlets and an adult great horned owl (who blended in with the trees quite well). Here's a photo of one of the owlets.
