nice one, Terry! i got some very similar to that yesterday afternoon... that little fella sure has his crests on display, doesn't he?
The salmonberry bushes will soon be blooming along the walkway. Hummers love their nectar.

Last week to be out on the fishing pier before reconstruction begins. From Tuesday (3-8).
A juvie pigeon guillemot was diving below the fishing pier.

A horned grebe was diving inside the marina.
Earlier in the day I saw two or three black scoters off Sunset Ave.
A small flock of red-breasted mergansers has been spending the winter off Olympic Beach and the fishing pier. Thursday afternoon (3-10-16) I sneaked up on two females swimming below the fishing pier.
Friday morning (3/11) I caught a Douglas's squirrel running toward Pine Ridge Park along the backyard fence lines. Last fall I quit tossing out peanuts for the Steller's jays as the eastern grey squirrels were getting most of them. This peanut was either from its own stash or the stash of an eastern grey squirrel or Steller's jay that it had raided.
The squirrel must remain vigilant when it reaches Pine Ridge Park as last year I photographed a barred owl hunting one in the park.

Tuesday (3/14) from Sunset Ave.
A small flock of black scoters was floating just beyond the floats that mark the underwater dive park.
The dunlin flock is much smaller than before, but still present.

Sprague Pond at Mini Park in Lynnwood is a good place to photograph ducks and cormorants. Shots from Tuesday afternoon (3/15).

Daren and I went to Lake Ballinger Park on St. Patrick's Day. One Canada goose was getting quite aggressive against another one.
I wouldn't want it coming after me.

Marsh Madness
Monday afternoon (3/16) a flock of Mew gulls visited the marsh....
while an evil minion of the Dark Lord was gathering nesting material.

We finally got some sunshine, so Tuesday afternoon Daren and I went out to look for birds. At the Pt. Edwards walkway we ran into Krista, a young birder I have known for about three years. She has taken up bird photography as well and some of her photos are on exhibit at the Edmonds Public Library.
One of the Pt. Edwards regulars had told me about a bushtit nest on the south side of the retention pond. We found it without too much trouble.
Golden-crowned sparrows are regular spring visitor to the walkway. Shooting at f/5.6 helped make the twigs in the background less obtrusive.
What looked like an immature male Anna's hummingbird spent several minutes posing for us. This is a take-off shot.
The red-winged blackbirds are out in force at the retention pond.
The water level at the marsh was such that one snipe ventured out from the grass onto the mud. It later scooted into the reeds. Snipes are much faster than they look.
