New pileated juvenile male.

Category: My Garden Birds | Posted: Wed Jul 14, 2010 4:20 am

For a couple of years now a pileated woodpecker female has been calling for a treat, more or less each day. Last year it brought a young female and was feeding it on the sundeck. This year she brought a juvenile male. We have had the males in the garden but this one was the first to come onto the sundeck. He knocked hell out of the branch he was on. Then we had the Anna's hummingbird in the front garden where I was looking for any insects that wanted their picture taken.

A trip to the mountains.

Category: My Garden Birds | Posted: Thu Jul 08, 2010 10:14 pm

Just a quick trip up Island to Mt. Washington. Its about 145 miles north of us. It was a little early but as I had a visitor staying we had no option but to go now. There was still lots of snow and water running everywhere, so it was 2 or 3 weeks to early for the flowers. I'll go back then. We did see the Gray Jay and juveniles, some nice scenery and there were a few flowers about.

A couple of Caspian Terns.

Category: My wildlife images | Posted: Tue Jul 06, 2010 5:18 am

There are a few caspian terns spending the summer down at the local lagoon. I visit it 2 or 3 times a week and had a chance to take some pics as they were on the ground and not fishing.

Three odd flowers.

Category: The Wildflowers | Posted: Sat Jul 03, 2010 5:26 pm

The first is Harvest Brodiea whose flowers emerge when the leaves have gone. a coastal plant mainly. The secon is a parasitic plant, orobanche grayana, that is also coastal as it grows near gumweed. The white is ocean spray, a usually large shrub with masses of flowers.
