Beach bunny

When your ears are this big, an itch can be serious business. Fortunately the back legs are supersized, too. A bunny just up the bluff from Rosario Beach.

Hey, there

Not exactly a natural setting (light pole), but this morning I celebrated the sighting of two eagles. Hadn’t seen any for the past couple of weeks or so. It’s obvious this eagle was more than happy to see me and my camera.

Wassup?

This little house finch at beach’s edge tilted its head slightly, as if to ask, “What’s going on here?” Then he was gone.

“Warbirds Weekend” video clips

Beach bee

There are bees at the beach that are not welcome, as in the case of picnic interlopers. This is not one of them. I photographed this handsome honeybee doing important pollination work on a delicate wildflower at beach’s edge.

Blending in

I followed this hummingbird’s flight path into a decorative cherry tree below the deck. If I hadn’t seen him land, I likely wouldn’t have seen him at all, perched “green on green” on the foliage.
