- one coyote
- a bald eagle couple (male and female -- we think they were nesting in one of the towering fir trees above our bench)
- several hawks (mostly red-tailed)
- nesting cormorants who don't seem bothered at all by the noise at the ferry terminal (Yes, I had to look them up to find out what they were called. I'm not an ornithologist.)
Here's one gathering materials for a nest.
Here are several in their nests next to the ferry dock.
- a great blue heron in the wetlands (what a wingspan!)
- lots of fearless robins who appeared to be stalking us at dusk (creepy stalker robins)
Here's a ninja robin inching closer to us under cover of darkness.
- lots of cows
- some really shaggy steer in a forest
- lots of horses
- three donkeys
- two different alpaca farms
- two llamas
- a rabbit
- five and a half deer, including a fawn (the half)
- one frog who spent the better part of a day relaxing on our front porch
Here he is being neighborly.
- one camel at a farm on the road to Friday Harbor
(No joke -- we would have taken a picture, but there were several children who had stopped to visit the camel, and, frankly, one of the reasons I needed a vacation was that I spend my entire year surrounded by them -- children, not camels.)
I'll leave you with this thought: San Juan Island is accessible only by boat, ferry or plane. Now try to picture a camel traveling on the ferry...
