Happy 2014!
Best year ever! So far…
The harbor seals were entertaining today. The little ones were following the big one around this patch of eel grass (tide was way out). Then the big one had enough! They move pretty well on really wet mud and on the eel grass.
Black-bellied plover (still waiting for their bellies to change colors):
I think this is a killdeer (also a type of plover)
Heron
I love sea lions!
Some of those itty-bitty birds were hanging out in the harbor:
As were these marbled godwits:
Other fun wildlife around the harbor – tide was way out.
Have I ever mentioned Slough mud? One of the reasons people are not supposed to get out of their boats inside the slough (I got this collection at the official/least muddy part of the launch beach).
