They are finally back with lots of babies

We have about 30 hummers around these days with many of them babies. There seems to only be one male rufous but here he is showing off

Grey_Whale_and_the_Rocks

A friend and I went to Newport to photograph the just fledged peregrine falcons. They weren't doing much so we went out to the lighthouse and watched as a grey whale swam into the small bay between the lighthouse and murre rock. It must have stayed there swimming around and feeding for 45 minutes. I took about 400 shots! What a thrill to watch one so close. At times he was too close even for the 150mm end of my zoom! Peak experience for me.

Osprey_Taking_Off_from_the_Nest

Quite the drama at the nest. Mom and baby are in the nest with mom looking as if she got wounded in a battle. interloper male flew close to the nest seemingly harrassing them. Then dad chased him off and flew into the nest. Seems as if he is working overtime with protecting babe and mom and feeding them. Mom seems to have an injured eye so probably can't hunt.
