It's astonishing to watch a large bird like a bald eagle spot fish, hover, & turn on a dime above a relatively small area open water. Especially given the large # of eagles we have right now in addition to the large # of waterfowl.

Is it "Goosday"?
I think so.
Here's a cute goosday photo.
There were ten chicks snuggled under mamma's wings. 😍

Flight Past the Shark Shack
We were in Galveston, Texas a while back, and I found myself standing on a corner watching gulls swoop and glide through the sky. Naturally, I had my camera ready. I caught this laughing gull (Leucophaeus atricilla) soaring down the street, just about to cross through the intersection. As it passed overhead, it happened to fly right by a restaurant called The Shark Shack.
Step into a world where even the smallest moments—like the glint in a bird's eye—tell their own story.

Be like a sea lion: eat, bark, belch, cause ruckus, sleep, repeat. 😆
Photo taken last March during the herring spawn. These sea lions overindulged on herring and were drifting in the sea.

(well, not so silent. Best photo I've ever taken of a bobcat).

I went scouting for wildlife along the east coast of Vancouver Island today for my upcoming photo tours during the herring spawn.
Steller sea lions are starting to show up, I observed them catching fish near the shore.
Bald eagles are back too, calling each other from tree tops. Soon they'll start to build a nest. Took this photo this morning.

The sea has a milky turquoise colour because of the herring spawn. A large sea lion in the bottom right of the photo moves towards a group of sea lions huddled in the choppy sea. Three bald eagles survey the situation with the intention to grab herring as the spawn is happening in shallow waters on the shore of Vancouver Island.
This is the type of action that you might photograph if you take a photo tour with me in March: https://www.catherinebabault.com/workshops/herring-spawn-vancouver-island-2-march-2026
