Great Egret, Ridgefield Wildlife Refuge, Clark County, Washington. American Great Egrets develop showy plumes (known as aigrettes) that grow from their backs which were the bane of egrets in the 19th century when they were prized for ladies’ hats. #birds #wildlifephotography #naturephotography

Best viewed large: male American Kestrel, up close and personal (including shrew guts). These images were shot from my car window on the auto route at the Ridgefield Wildlife Refuge in Clark County, Washington. Apparently Mr. Kestrel read the sign. #birds #wildlifephotography #naturephotography

Black Oystercatchers & Belted Kingfishers, Rosario Beach, Deception Pass State Park 3/5/25. The Kingfisher caught a sanddab and flung the fish's head against the rock to knock it out, but then a seagull came along and tried to steal the fish. #birds #wildlifephotography #naturephotography

Harlequin Ducks, Rosario Beach, Deception Pass State Park, Washington State, 3/5/25. If it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck, then it probably is a duck. #birds #wildlifephotography

Signs of glacial erosion on trail 505 in Washington Park on Fidalgo Island, WA. This curved rock wall was shaped by glaciers about 15,000 years ago. You can even see striations on the surface of the wall made by rocks embedded in the glacial ice. #naturephotography #landscapephotography #geology

Bald Eagle soaring in front of Mt. Baker, Fir Island Farm Reserve, Skagit County, WA, 12/1/24. It pays to be in the right place at the right time with the right equipment with the right exposure (and a lot of patience). #birds
