My crow friends
Mama, Papa & Jr.
I watched the parents grooming each other. I sat very still. Jr was curious about me & hopped closer. Very cute young #corvid
Ravens are my fave but I love all corvids.

Pinnipeds. OG sea plankers.

Peekaboo!

Yellow warbler, Dendroica petechia, distracting me away from its nest. When I realized what was going on, I left immediatly. #RespectWildlife

This image is not of the greatest quality for 2 reasons:
One I cannot control: harsh light.
One I can control: respecting wildlife.
This is not about me ‘’getting the shot’’ but keeping my distance from a river otter that needs to eat in order to survive. Getting closer would have stressed the otter that would have probably fled, leaving behind this nutritious food. #RespectWildlife
