Some random photos from around the neighborhood.

Canada Geese are common but I don't usually see them strung out in such a long line like this.

There are lots of flowers around, which the bees are busy visiting.

Exploring at low tide I found this sea star, but it looks like it might have sea star wasting disease.

Ochre Sea Star

The crows were also exploring the beach (and taking advantage of the dog water dish).

I caught this Great Blue Heron in the act of catching a fish. They swallow the tiny fish immediately, but bigger ones they need to turn around head first.

Shelley spotted this tiny moth (less than 1/2 inch across) on our door.

Single-dotted Wave ?

Whereas this weevil and large spider were on our wall. (neither is native)

Black Vine Weevil

Giant House Spider ?

I heard this woodpecker before I spotted him. There must be something metal on top of the pole since he was making quite a racket.

Downy Woodpecker ?

While I was photographing the woodpecker this Anna's hummingbird landed on a bush right near me.
