Hello!
I just remembered that I hinted at wildlife a while back.
The list of what I have seen so far:
deer
rabbits
herons - loads of 'em. I get to watch them fish almost every day.
vultures
eagles - at Moran State Park I was up in the observation tower and I got to look down on an eagle, how often do you get to be above an eagle?!
hawks
owls - mostly heard, and this might be hard to believe, but I'm pretty sure one landed, briefly on the peak of my tent! Heard it calling then the wooosh of an owl in flight, then something landed for an instant and was gone. It was either the owl or whatever he was after!
harbor seals
maybe a Dahl porpoise (crap, how do you spell porpoise? Where's the spell check on this thing?)
some ambiguous grey, ghost-like shape that came close to the surface of Otter Cove (beside the cafe), but disappeared - no idea what it was
pigeon guillemots
oystercatchers
kingfishers
lots of hummingbirds
dragonflies
crows, robins, towhees, nuthatches, chickadees and lots of other birds I haven't figured out yet, but they say hello to me every morning at 4:30!
some fish, unable to dertimine what types
farm critters including; horses, lots of sheep, a few cows, goats
lots of dogs (YAY! I get a little doggie fix almost every day! Thanks all you dog folk.)
cats - two, the resort manager's cat, from Thailand, can't remember her name right now, and Gorgonzola, a black and white resident cat, very friendly but potentially fiesty! Tried to wrestle with me once...
oysters.
There are deer everywhere. I see at least two each time I walk from my tent to the cafe, rabbits too. Apparently a while ago someone thought bunnies would be a charming addition to the resort, now they are abundant and a nuisance. The new owners are trying to find ways to kindly remove them from the property. Anyone want a semi-feral rabbit, or fifty?
