Anna’s Hummingbird

This little fella was singing in our garden this morning.

I think he’s happy about his fresh sugar water in his feeder for Thanksgiving!

At least…that’s my best guess!  If this is a bird of a different feather, please let me know. 

Young Eagle or Osprey?

I really can’t tell…I’m not an expert.  I just happened to spy this bird when I was walking my dog a few moments ago.

Baby Seal Alert at 65th and Beach Drive

West Seattle Blog just posted a plea for help.  There is a baby seal (quite possibly the one who’s been floating around here) that is tangled in fishing wire right NOW. 

If you have experience in animal rescue, your help is needed at 65th and Beach Drive.

UPDATE 6:09 p.m.:  The baby seal has been saved!  Read WS Blog’s update here.

Name that duck

I flipped through our bird book…however it’s better for decorating a coffee table than finding out what kind of duck this is.

Seal Pup

This fellow was smaller than the seal we call "Bob"…we’re thinking he’s a pup.   He was wading close to shore this morning and decided to "stay in".   Probably after realizing that our beach is not like sandy Alki.

A little sun plus some waves equals a seal of approval

I think’s getting too crowded here…perhaps I’ll take my breakfast "To Go".
