- The most stunning thing we saw diving Sund Rock yesterday though was the biggest GPO I've ever seen in the wild. It was fast asleep, out in the open, in only 18 feet of water. I've never seen one asleep out of its den and so shallow before.
- I spent the morning diving in the Hood Canal and got a pretty decent shot of this beautiful golden dirona. Biggest one I've ever seen, at least as big as my palm.
- I got a shot of the great horned owl that lives at my friend Amber's place. It was hooting at the owl that lives next door when we interrupted it, which probably accounts for the withering look. 🪶
- A couple recent shots of a cormorant on a riverbank, just before and just after taking flight. 🪶
- Here's a cute little sandpiper I saw hunting for breakfast at sunrise on a river bank a couple of weeks ago.
- I was just going for a little walk at Shilshole Bay, said to my wife "I'm going to grab the camera in case there's an eagle" and literally 30 seconds later, an eagle was fighting with an osprey over a fish directly above me.
- The fight continued for about a minute; the osprey did eventually drop the fish but the eagle did not get it.
- The eagle then flew off to the east and I lost sight of it.
