Here are 2 shots of the Yellow Billed Cuckoo that's been hanging around my house and the woods behind me this summer.
This is the Great Blue Heron that I saw at the beach (Panhandle) a few weeks ago. He is a little shy, but not nearly as much as the one that sometimes visits the creek behind my house. You might have trouble seeing him in between the chairs and umbrellas.
After a while he left his cover, and posed for me.
Some pelicans that were playing in the water took off, and I got my first "good enough" shots of them.
Oops! Meant to include Islander7 on my last ping, not you Islander. Sorry for the confusion!
Wow those are great. THanks!
They are regular seasonal visitors to here on Humboldt Bay....
