Independence Day and Our Nation’s Symbol

A bald eagle perches on a driftwood limb on the shore of Kachemak Bay, Alaska.
There was a nice article in our paper today about a man here in Marin County who collects all things relating to the bald eagle. His name is Preston Cook. In addition to collecting, Preston has given much time to helping the bald eagle. Among his efforts were many years spent on the board of the American Bald Eagle Foundation. You can see the story here.
A Bobcat Visits the Pantry; Point Reyes National Seashore

I haven’t gotten any good photos of bobcats lately. They’ve given up their crepuscular ways and they’ve gone back to being nocturnal. This photo was taken in February. This particular guy was my favorite this past winter. He has a very pronounced chin. I had a house cat with a chin like his. It was diagnosed as feline acne, treated and it cleared up. I wonder if bobcats get feline acne.
On another note, I’m working on a review of window mounts. I hope to have that done in the next day or so. Included in that review will be the new Puffin Pad.
A Coyote Jumps Over the Moon.

Pardon the hyperbole, but if a cow can jump over the moon why not a coyote? This photo was taken last winter. I’ve never seen a coyote jump this high while mousing (or doing anything else). This is the coyote I’ve covered before, including the day before yesterday, with the injured right foreleg. It looks swollen at the wrist. Nevertheless, he landed front feet first.
Coyote Crosses A Ranch, Point Reyes National Seashore

This coyote has a swollen area under his left eye. This is the same coyote I’ve posted photos of before. He had an injury to his right foreleg which caused him to limp last winter, but that seems to have healed. As an old friend of mine is fond of saying: “Life is tough.”
