Sher and I took advantage of our son again and had him drive us around town. There were lots of people out, mostly driving as it was rather chilly and windy. Not the best conditions for a walk.
I spotted this goose on a traffic island in a store parking lot. The goose just sat there when our car pulled up be side it, which allowed me to take these shots. The goose’s mate saw us from across the lot and was walking (or should I say waddling) towards us as we pulled away.
When we got the squirrel corn the other day we also bought a bird feeder. So far we have not actually seen any feathered friends at the feeder, but the drop in the seed level and loose seeds on the ground under the feeder do show that it has been used.
Speaking of birds, there is a Pileated Woodpecker living somewhere around our neighborhood. We have seen him a couple of times flying through. What a magnificent bird. We’re looking forward to more sightings.
Since we’re not traveling Sher and I have focused on getting our backyard into a more comfortable and enjoyable living space. BC (before coronavirus) we were traveling for much of the year. Thanks to COVID-19 that has changed drastically.
Got any bird feeders in your yard? What is your favorite bird?
Remember all that “stay healthy” advice! Don’t slip up!
Pelicans are one of my favorite birds. I captured this one resting on a pier at Tarpon Springs, Florida.
Every once in a while you capture a photo that is pretty darn neat, even if I do say so myself! Here is one of a seagull on final approach to the beach at Kayak Point Park in Snohomish County Washington.
When I first saw the photo I thought “Oh, so that’s how they do it!”
A big blackbird
This guy was giving me the evil eye near the Mukilteo Lighthouse.
