First, I returned to the same location where I photographed the eagles. There were many flying over the ocean and among the trees. Here's one shot:
Out in the water, the sea lions were having a herring feast and their barking echoed across the blue, however they looked like small brown specks , so no good footage. Farther on along the coast, I spotted some shapes on a mooring, so I pulled in ~
and what about this elephant trunk ~
Another bright, crisp and clear day today. It was -3 overnight, and up to 8 today, with forecast of rain/snow showers for the next two days.
I'd be happy to see just one eagle!
ReplyDeleteThose seals sure are a noisy bunch aren't they!
It's still rather wintry there I see, which isn't quite so bad when it's bright and sunny. xx
Hahahaha! Those sealions sound crazy, it's a wonder they don't laugh at themselves. Or maybe that is what they are doing...
ReplyDeleteYou're lucky to be able to see so many eagles.
Hopefully soon I will be able to explore the countryside around Shenandoah in Va. and the Chesapeake Bay in Md., a lovely area overall.
As usual... I enjoy your pictures! So nice to see the cute sealions :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful serene way to start my Friday morning!
ReplyDeleteHi Flighty ~ Well, you'd definitely get your eye full of eagles around here! The sea lions were very noisy ~ especially the males, which have a low growly sound. Yesterday turned out to be beautiful weather, just like a spring day. The temps went up to 12 which was a pleasant surprise. I was outside most of the day.
ReplyDeleteHi Liv ~ Seeing all the sea lions lumped together like that was hilarious ~ could hardly tell where one started and the other ended ~ and noisy is right. They were fun to watch, especially so close. I bet they were having a chuckle or two ~ and once in awhile a couple of them would turn and fight and bite! There are many more eagles visible right now with it being herring season. Sounds like a lovely area you plan on visiting ~ and know that your photos and write up of your explorations will be wonderful to see :)
Hi Selby ~ Glad to see you enjoyed the photos, especially the sea lions. They were enjoying the sunshine after having their fill of herring.
Hi Daffy ~ Glad to hear I helped get your morning off to a gentle start ~ I thought of you when I saw the tree trunk that looked like a relation of an elephant!
I've added a link to the sea lions ~
ReplyDeleteHow amazing to have eagles and sealions on your doorstep. Quite breathtaking. The elephant tree reminds me of a coffee pot! x
ReplyDeleteHi Louise ~ It is indeed amazing to see and appreciate the wildlife in and around the sea ~ especially at herring season, or when the salmon spawn. Thank goodness there was some good weather during that time. When I look at the tree again, I can definitely see the resemblance to a teapot ;)
