Katrina's Travels

More photos from Point No Point on November 16

I'll start with the sparrowy birds. This is a Spotted Towhee.

I saw two hummingbirds while I was in Washington. The first one was buzzing around high up in the trees at my friend's house in the rain. I didn't even come close to seeing it well enough to identify. This Anna's Hummingbird was the second one. It was sitting in a place where I was looking almost directly into the sun, so the photos didn't come out all that well and I had to adjust them quite a bit to show the colors at all.

I saw some chickadees and nuthatches in the woods, but most of the birds I saw where on the water.

There were a lot of grebes, almost all Horned Grebes.

There were also ducks, loons, and guillemots. ( Read more... )

I saw two mammals at Point No Point. One was this seal, which I think is a Harbor Seal. The other was a huge sea lion. I didn't get a photo of the sea lion and I'm not sure which species it was but it whichever it was, it was a really big one. I talked to a man on the beach who told me he'd seen a large whale the previous day but I didn't see any whales.
