A few days late, but happy gotcha day to my big boy Marv. When we got him 2 years ago, he was about 8 months old and 83 pounds. Now at 2.5 years old, he weighs 137.5 lbs. He’s the sweetest boy ever. #gotchaday

I will count this as our first white Christmas.

Sure, you've seen hundreds of birds on land take flight, but have you seen hundreds of pelicans on the OCEAN take flight? 🦑 🪶

Me I see someone doom posting a year that hasn't even happened yet 🪶 🐣

When I first got to Santa Barbara 669 days ago I started shooting 8 bazillion Pelican photos. I slowed down a lot this year(after seeking professional help lol) but here's one I got in the harbor that I dig! #SantaBarbara #Birds #Nature #Photography

Last photo of the day for me will be my favorite shot of my pet Great horned Owl, Owliver. He hasn't been around as much lately, maybe once a week but he came by daily for almost three months! I'd spend a few minutes to grab a few shots and then let him be. #SantaBarbara #Birds #Nature #Photography

Household Ink Records proudly releases/unleashes a delicious new archival collection from electronic musician/keyboardist/composer/artist Richard “Dick” Dunlap, "Arlene Rising." Yours truly produced it and I'm quite proud of this one! www.householdink.com/dickdunlap/

A few days ago I started compiling my 10 favorite shots of 2025 and somehow ended up with 70 and I haven't even gotten to my sunset stuff yet! I guess I better start posting or I'll never get done! Let's start it off with a young Elephant Seal from San Simeon! #SanSimeon #Nature #Photography

Look at this asshole. Creating earthquakes and moving oceans and shit.

Damn that is some good pelican action. Living their best pelican life. #birds

Still gong through the highlights of 2025. I'm still in February. We had some amazing #aurora evenings when I was up in Churchill guiding tours.

Glossy beautiful pelagic cormorants at the end of Imperial Beach pier. Love watching them swim and fish. 🪶

Spotted sandpiper at tidepools late afternoon yesterday. Waves came in and he jumped onto the seawall shaking his booty as usual. 😎🪶

More from the Ocean Beach tidepools late yesterday. I was happy to see a few sea stars. I had read that they are coming back to the California Coast after nearly disappearing to the wasting disease.

Guess who’s been caught on camera? 👀 Wildlife is thriving at the Cordelia Slough Youth Education Program site! Our trail cam captured familiar (and unexpected) visitors all thanks to busy beavers shaping wetlands. Which wild resident were you most surprised to see?

An 18-year-old Black-footed Albatross arrived in our care after hitching a ride from Hawaiʻi to Fort Bragg! A federal leg band placed in 2007 revealed its age and history, an invaluable tool that helps guide our care as this it regains strength before returning to the open ocean. 📷: Kelly Beffa

What are the odds?! Two former patients from the same 2024 crisis, treated in CA 400 miles apart, and spotted healthy and thriving together in Newport, OR. This has to be one of the year’s most incredible sightings (thanks to Roy Lowe) and a reminder of how far recovery can carry them!

One of this year’s sweeter highlights came from an unlikely pairing: a Bufflehead and a Ruddy Duck who became rehab roommates during their time in care. Two very different circumstances brought them to us, but both were given a second chance at life together. youtu.be/YCR0NaJU7yo

OMG sunset just now. The kind you have to see to believe. No editing.

This is what preceded last night’s spectacular sunset.

I am not a winter person yet here we are. I am going to jump forward to spring with a photo of a parent American Coot (Fulica americana) feeding its young. At this age the young can feed themselves but parents still stay on top of it. #birds #wildlife #coots #rallids (rails) 🪶

For Christmas Eve we have American crows (Corvus brachyrhynchos) at St. Benedict Catholic Church in San Benito County. #birds #wildlife #crows #corvids 🪶

I hope everyone who celebrates Christmas had a wonderful day and today as we begin Kwanza, I am sharing a western meadowlark (Sturnella neglecta). Santa Clara County, California. Happy Kwanza to all who celebrate. #birds #wildlife #meadowlarks #newworldblackbirds #icterids 🪶
