Red-Tailed Hawk Pair Yesterday afternoon, a pair of red-tailed hawks were perched high above the ground in the stillness of an old tree. Their fierce and determined eyes survey their surroundings, ever vigilant. www.fastflash.com #wildlife #hawk #PNW #guemesisland #pacificnorthwest #birds #birding

The Little One The Little One from a coyote litter I photographed them over 3 months one summer. I located him one year later; he took off at a run. I picked up my camera to take a shot, and he stopped, looked at me, and sat down for a couple of minutes. Guemes Island, WA #coyote #wildlife #PNW

Pacific Harbor Seal One evening, I ventured out to photograph the moon rising when a Pacific Harbor seal appeared. The light was fading, and I hoped the seal would remain motionless. Eventually, the stillness I awaited arrived. Guemes Island, WA #pacificnorthwest #harborseal #seal #guemesisland

Bald Eagle Female She was washing in a mud puddle when I noticed her. She continued to wash, and I waited to see where she would go. Eventually, she chose to land on a nearby fence post to dry off in the setting sun. Guemes Island, WA #eagle #wildlife #guemesisland #pacificnorthwest #baldeagle

Pileated Woodpecker The Pacific Northwest is home to the striking Pileated Woodpecker. These woodpeckers are crucial to the region's ecosystem, as they excavate large cavities in dead trees, which subsequently provide shelter for various other species. Rasar State Park 11.2024 #wildlife
