Seagulls the only game in town; except the Wildfires.
However an Arsonist has been arrested, a college professor that has started donzens of them. It doesn’t surprise me most fires are Arson started, it’s kind of a best known secret the Insurance Companies keep close to their vest. The report says the maximum sentence is 5 years and a fine, whoopee do

Today’s Picture Session.
Terns are sharing the slough with the Seagulls, I’m not sure if it’s an overlap or some are here to stay. Terns are fast diving birds, the goal when photographing them is to capture images of them hitting the water as they go for fish. Often they make it a bit easy as they will dive into the same spot many times offering the opportunity to set the camera up in the best spot.

Young Squirrels and Geese.
A few years back I found a. young fledging Barn Owl that had hit a utility pole in a similar velocity wind. At any rate it appears they will not be migrating back to their summer grounds which I assume is in or near Canada.

Was That Rain?
The bird hunts for 5 years then his human partner releases him into the wild. It makes me wonder if the Cormorant fishermen do something of the same order. Another research project, I’ll start right after I finish reading the pile of books I received for my birthday. I am able to read a book and listen to an Audio book at the same time, it’s easy, however I am unable to remember either one of them when I’m finished.

Merely Curious, that’s All.
Why is the Crow chasing this Hawk? What did he do to deserve this? If we rely on hearing it from the critters we most likely have a very long wait.

Are Humans Smart Enough To Test a Crows I.Q.?
For that reason it is my belief even if the critters were able to speak our language fluently we would not be able to understand them. It would be impossible for us to identify with their perspective because the way they evolved has no bearing on how we did.

Slow Start
A few Canadians remain around here which makes me wonder if the wildfires and the heat wave up North have something to do with it. The largest wildfire in California is on the Eastern slope of the Sierra’s near the Nevada border. One thousands acres are on fire as I write this, unfortunately for those Eastward the smoke is being shared with the rest of the country. It’s the middle of July and we’re already up to our eyebrows in Alligators; it won’t get better any time soon.

Subjects of Convenience.
I am dedicated to capturing as much detail as possible with each subject; to have a photo with good detail and the subject doing something interesting is my goal.

Winter Geese and Summer Fireworks.
The Cities may have successfully put the Kabash on it. I’m not a stick in the mud, I love fireworks but not in this environment. One bottle Rocket is capable of burning down hundreds of thousands of square Acres, and as Old Zuess would say “We don’t need that now do we?”

I wonder if they think.
Many of the birds we have a tendency to take for granted, Scrub Jays are among them. Commonly fingers point at this Corvid as being the backyard bully around the feeders.
