Today was the definition of perfect! Not even the smallest amount of wind, clear skies, and animals everywhere!
Tomorrow is supposed to be quite windy so I took full advantage of the good weather and barely spent any time inside.
I also got a visit from the Coast Guard helicopter when they came to check in on a few things, that’s always a fun visit! And because it’s a small world, I just so happened to know the pilot!
Animal Notes:
- The Red-footed booby is still here! Has most recently decided to hangout on the main island, just in front of the house.
- I did not see the sea otter or the fur seal today but I did manage to get some better photos of the otter, well…at least photos where you can tell it’s actually an otter!
- Still plenty of humpbacks around but not as many as I’ve had previously.
- I saw a heron today, not exactly a rare bird but I haven’t seen them here before, and never standing on a kelp bed! I also saw a kingfisher yesterday but it was much too fast for a photo!

The new sea otter in town…I’ve been calling him Oswald.
