A regal coyote surveys our pond (which is really her pond, of course). #mammals #nature #dogs #love #trailcam #Seattle #PNW #animals #nokings #coyote

This deer is trying so hard to get some leaves off this tree that she falls on her butt. Time for some easier meals. #mammals #nature #deer #love #trailcam #Seattle #wildanimals #goodmorning #PNW #nokings #wildlife

"Time for some quick coyoga and then I'm chillin' out." (I love when the animals bunk down in the yard) #mammals #nature #dogs #love #trailcam #Seattle #PNW #animals #nokings #coyote

This elk asked me for my license and registration - but then, let me go. From near the beach in Gearhart, Oregon. That's the ocean straight out in the distance about 1/4 mile. #mammals #nature #deer #love #PNW #nokings #wildlife #outdoors #elk #ocean

Wait for it... #mammals #nature #bear #love #trailcam #Seattle #goodmorning #PNW #nokings #bears #outdoors

When you have a bunch of trail cameras, and the Queen of the Mountains shows up - you get some cool clips! #MountainLion #mammals #nature #cats #PNW #nokings #trailcam #Caturday

This awesome opossum would like you to know it's not all bears, bobcats, elk and owls on our trail cameras! #mammals #nature #marsupial #love #Seattle #wildanimals #PNW #nokings #goodnight #trailcam #awesome

When the local Barred Owls take baths, they seem to all make the same adorable noise. I would spell it "flumff". Tell me I'm wrong! (Hope you can hear the noises) #birds #owl #birb #nature #love #trailcam #Seattle #goodmorning #PNW #love #funnyanimals #nokings

Somebody really likes their mom! #mammals #nature #deer #love #trailcam #Seattle #wildanimals #goodmorning #PNW #babyanimals #nokings #wildlife #fawn

There's a lane in the woods where the elk like to go that is a tight fit for their huge antlers. As a short dude, I never have this problem! Here are two clips of that spot. #mammals #nature #deer #love #trailcam #wildanimals #goodnight #PNW #nokings #wildlife #outdoors #elk

Walked back to our pond at sunrise and there was some A+ lighting in the trees on the way. #nature #pnw #trees #Seattle #love #nokings #photography

Ireland folks, need your help! Gonna be headed to Ireland soon for the first time. If you know it well and can suggest some out of the way nature/castles/ruins that aren't the obvious places, that'd be great. Mostly hanging in the western half. #ireland #castles #travel #nokings

Owls NOT flying! Earlier, I posted a montage of flying owls. In this one, they are not. Mostly just keeping watch around the yard. Barred and Great Horned. The last clip looks like a film noir as the camera freaked out. #birds #owl #birb #nature #love #trailcam #Seattle #goodmorning #PNW #nokings

The lazy days of (bear) Summer are here! All these clips are from the same day last week (in chronological order). #mammals #nature #bear #love #trailcam #Seattle #goodmorning #PNW #nokings #bears #outdoors

Just went to our pond. This owl was taking a bath and flew up to this branch by the time I got my phone out. #nature #pnw #nokings #love #owl #birds #birb #goodmorning

Animal Parade 6 - This trail camera is just behind the house. Didn't put bobcats in this montage because so many walk by this cam that I did a video just of them last week. Watch for the fawn boops! #mammals #nature #deer #elk #bears #love #Seattle #wildanimals #PNW #nokings #trailcam #coyotes

Two new youngsters showed up together this week on the backyard cam (and other spots around the yard). #mammals #nature #dogs #love #trailcam #Seattle #wildanimals #goodnight #PNW #animals #nokings #coyote

They did this for like half an hour. They were tired, but the play must go on! #mammals #nature #bear #love #trailcam #Seattle #goodmorning #PNW #nokings #bears #outdoors

Because life is rough and because crap-maggots are running our country, here are some coyotes playing with balls in our yard to brighten your day. #mammals #nature #dogs #love #trailcam #Seattle #wildanimals #goodnight #PNW #animals #nokings #coyote

"Ugh, playing and foraging all day is exhausting!" #mammals #nature #bear #love #trailcam #Seattle #goodmorning #PNW #nokings #bears #naptime

It's the time of the year when all the tadpoles in our pond are maturing at the same time and we're gonna have a frogjam! This video is from a previous year. #frogs #wildlife #smallwonders #photography #nature #PNW #Seattle #frog #herps #life #animals

Owls in Flight - We see lots of owls on our trail cams, with almost all of them sitting on their owl butts. However, in this set of clips, they're all seen flying! #birds #owl #birb #nature #love #trailcam #Seattle #goodmorning #PNW #funnyanimals #nokings

With so many animals around, they are bound to encounter each other sometimes. Here are two unrelated near misses from the trail cams: Deer X Bear and Bear X Coyote. No one was chased and no one was hurt! #mammals #nature #deer #bear #love #Seattle #PNW #nokings #trailcam #coyote #goodnight

Tillamook Rock Lighthouse is 1.2 miles out to sea from this beach. Luckily, my phone got the zoomies. Also, those are pelicans. #pnw #oregon #cannonbeach #beach #marinelife #nokings #nature #photography

Some chill seastars checking out the beach view on a beautiful day on the Oregon Coast. #pnw #nature #starfish #nokings #marinelife #photography

Just... holy crap! Our 3rd mountain lion on the trail cams in a year. I went and retrieved the SD cards from the cameras and wondered what had been around and BOOM! What a beautiful and scary Goddess! #mammals #nature #cats #love #Seattle #PNW #animals #nokings #goodmorning #trailcam #caturday #cat

The North Oregon Coast is lousy with bald eagles - which is ironic since that's not lousy at all. Here are two eating whatever they found on the beach. #nature #oregoncoast #pnw #birds #birb #love #baldeagle #nokings #ocean #goodmorning

The World's most sincere-looking black bear takes the scene in from our kiddie pool. (And gets bopped by an errant leaf). #mammals #nature #bear #love #trailcam #Seattle #wildanimals #goodmorning #PNW #love #nokings #bears #outdoors
