Rocky shore, with a few distant birds.
 |
| See him? |
 |
| Getting closer. |
 |
| It took over 15 minutes to get close enough, stepping softly. One slow step more, and he flew away. A Belted kingfisher, male. |
 |
| Bald eagle. |
 |
| Gull on a rock. Quadra Island across the water. |
 |
| Peep. I think it's a plover. |
 |
| At least these were close. Peep tracks. |
More tomorrow, not quite so far away.

Una playa con rocas. Y pájaros en la distancia.
- ¿Lo ves?
- Me estoy acercando.
- Me tomó más de 15 minutos llegar tan cerca, caminando despacito para no asustarle. Un paso más, y voló. Un martín gigante, Megaceryle alcyon, macho.
- Un águila calva, Haliaeetus leucocephalus.
- Una gaviota sobre una roca, con la isla Quadra en el fondo.
- Un pájaro playero pequeño ("peep"). Creo que es un chorlito gris, Pluvialis squatarola.
- Por lo menos, estas huellas las pude ver de cerca. Huellas de algún "peep".

I'm having to moderate all comments because Blogger seems to have a problem notifying me. Sorry about that. I will review them several times daily, though, until this issue is fixed.
Also, I have word verification on, because I found out that not only do I get spam without it, but it gets passed on to anyone commenting in that thread. Not cool!
