This is from back in October, in Mount Vernon, WA.
This is by far the most geese I’ve seen flying at one time.

I only had my phone w me today and the glare was though. But I think this is a Cassin’s Auklet!? (Edmonds, WA)

Anyone able to help me confirm or reID?

Cooper’s Hawk diving from its perch. Wish I could’ve gotten its whole head in the last one!

Some shots of a few Band-tailed Pigeons from the Skagit Wildlife Area!
I had never seen these before, they looked like footballs in the trees from far away. #birds #exploring #birding #nature #photography

GBH hunting in the rocks at low tide. I kept hoping it would come out w something big in its beak, but it was either coming up empty or getting tiny bites.

I swear I saw one of these Purple Martin toss the tree swallow that is sitting on the railing right out of that nest box. I thought it maybe was testing its young at first, but I am fairly confident in my IDs on the two. 🪶

Please correct me if I’m wrong, it was interesting to see regardless.

Is this just a mallard? Colors look different to me but could just be the lighting. Merlin didn’t have a confident choice. #birds 🪶
