California Sea Lions at the Shilshole Marina yesterday. There were probably over 150 of them covering two docks. Most were sleeping with a handful noisily barking.

rabbit beans left on the sidewalk after clearing snow this morning

our neighbourhood hare, who spends entire afternoons snoozing in the back yard, is now an uncomfortable patchwork quilt of brown and white as she grows in her winter coat.

two years ago our resident hare dug herself a soft spot on the front lawn, and sat in it for weeks.

twice a year - in the spring and autumn - she returns to that exact spot and has a good sit for a few days.

she arrived this morning

for the past three years, this hare has spent most of her evenings sleeping in our back yard. she usually sleeps against the chainlink fence, but last week decided that stretching out in the grass like roadkill felt better

there are a pair of neighborhood crows nesting in my back yard. today, one of them found a dry old piece of bread somewhere down the alley and flew over to my lawn with it.

she looked around carefully and dropped it into the eavestrough drain, where some water pooled from an overnight shower.

she flew away for 5 minutes and just came back to eat once it was well soaked 😆

Sometimes, days can go by without stumbling into a fox, and some days, you walk past 5 or 6 (Mostly young) foxes completely unbothered by humans around them.

Unless you pay attention to them, they don't seem to like that

Hier: Gab es gestern ein paar Regenschauer. Die Spatzengang ist aus dem Grund auf die Terrasse des Lokals geflüchtet und hat sich dort unter den Schirmen untergestellt. #spatzen #urbanAnimals

S.C. Mero is one of my favorite LA artists, the street installations around downtown are always great. I hope this is still around when I'm back next month. Five black panthers in a tree. https://www.instagram.com/p/CvAYPOrriD5/?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==

My friend in Houston has had a vulture couple nesting on his office balcony for the past three years. This year, two baby vultures were born on Friday. The babies are adorable. Two years ago i got to see the babies learn to fly. It was amazing.
Take a look at the #nestcam he's got set up:

I often walk with animals in the dark. But sometimes the animal is a rat
