Bellevue Portrait Photographer | Backyard Wildlife


Backyard wildlife for this past week.  Mama squirrel has taken over the bird condo getting ready for her little ones to debut, the Grosbeaks are back this year--just arrived this week.  One mischievous raccoon has been dropping by both during the day and night.  The chipmunks had babies and I've got rabbits-and baby rabbits of various stages right now.  It's nice to take on personal projects in between photographing portraits for my clients, especially when they walk right past your office window on a daily basis.

New kids on the block...

Yesterday I noticed a couple new kids on the block! This was the first time I've ever seen these birds. According to my research they are Grosbeaks, "Evening Grosbeaks." Their bill is large and appears quite strong. They make the most curious poses and expressions and have a distinguishable call, a high-pitched chirp.
