I only had my phone w me today and the glare was though. But I think this is a Cassin’s Auklet!? (Edmonds, WA)

Anyone able to help me confirm or reID?

Cooper’s Hawk diving from its perch. Wish I could’ve gotten its whole head in the last one!

Some shots of a few Band-tailed Pigeons from the Skagit Wildlife Area!
I had never seen these before, they looked like footballs in the trees from far away. #birds #exploring #birding #nature #photography

GBH hunting in the rocks at low tide. I kept hoping it would come out w something big in its beak, but it was either coming up empty or getting tiny bites.

I swear I saw one of these Purple Martin toss the tree swallow that is sitting on the railing right out of that nest box. I thought it maybe was testing its young at first, but I am fairly confident in my IDs on the two. 🪶

Please correct me if I’m wrong, it was interesting to see regardless.

Mother red winged blackbird feeding its baby, then going off for more. Can’t believe I caught this today.

Is this just a mallard? Colors look different to me but could just be the lighting. Merlin didn’t have a confident choice. #birds 🪶

Brown Creeper! This was my first time getting these little guys on camera (I have heard them several times). I have never seen a bird that moves like this. Also from Seward Park in Seattle.

Glad to be back on #birds! These American Flamingos are from the Stone Zone near my parents outside of Boston. Great little Zoo.
