Fox Island, July 20

It was late afternoon when we arrived from the boat trip, but still light enough to do some more birding on the island near the cabins. I got lucky and saw a Chestnut-backed Chickadee (life bird).

And then I got the Townsend's Warbler photos that I had hoped to achieve.

A Yellow-rumped Warbler was nearby, and Steller's Jays were near the kayaks.

I saw a jellyfish near the dock. A Glaucous-winged Gull had found a sea star, but couldn't quite figure out how to eat it!
