p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · San Juan Island Wildlife, left the RAW at home (23)


This summer I took the family for a relaxing vacation on San Juan Island, WA. Many thanks to Tim Kuhn for his thoughts on this trip (even though I ended up ignoring his advice ).

I'm glad I brought my 500L II along, as the birding was better than I expected. Sadly, as usual, I had a couple self-inflicted photography mishaps: 1. somehow my 1DX was set to capture JPG images instead of RAW; and 2. inexplicably I did not have my gear with me the two times we had good looks at killer whales from the shore.

Anyway, thanks for stopping by and having a look.

Jim

Jim, lots to like here. Congrats on the peregrine, eagles and fox....but birding with your son at dawn is priceless. And it appears someone else was awake to memorialize the moment too.

A great set Jim. Of the critters, 1, 2, 6, 7, and 13 stand out. 21 also stands out, and of course, family shots are priceless ~ Ron

Soooo glad to see you had a great time Jim My advice is over-rated anyway

The BE on the bluff is a wonderful shot, quite unique at that, great shots of the KF IF I'm glad you included the tide pool shots, I love to spend time hopping around in them myself. Marvelous set all around Jim, I'm glad to see you and your family had a great time.

PS your mountain looks like Rainier, Baker would have been almost directly east, Hood is pointy and I doubt visible from there

Looks like a great time and very well spent! The kingfisher is fabulous and sure love the looks of the BE.

Nice job.
