Northern California Harbor Seals

A mile from the house we rented, a group of Harbor Seals would sun during the day. One small group of seals was wonderfully playful as the tide came in.

Turtle Duet

On Saturday morning in the Loch of Central Park, two turtles were engaged in some pre-copulation behavior. It was an amazing water ballet.

There has been a Harbor Seal to the north and south of the Boat Basin (79th and the Hudson River) for the last few months. I got to see the seal on Saturday. Too bad. If it was on Sunday, I could have made bad puns about the Easter Seal.

Thanks to Leslie Day, for the heads up.

Baby Raccoons

While looking for owls on Thursday, I found these three baby raccoons. Their tree had been trimmed after a branch had fallen. There mother was inspecting the changes and these three went exploring around their cavity.

Saturday in the Park

I birded in the North Wood on Saturday and enjoyed the second wave of the fall migration, which as brought new ducks, woodpeckers, fly catchers and thrushes. I also stumbled into the Monarch Butterfly migration, where at least 500 Monarchs were taking a break in the Wildflower Meadow.
