    California Sea Lion Yearling
  • A possibly abandoned yearling California sea lion on a beach in Los Angeles, California shows that it is far too thin. This has been a common sight in recent years with far too many pups and yearlings not getting enough food to eat. Warmer waters in recent years means that the mother has to venture out further to sea to get enough food to nourish her young.

  • The California ground squirrel is a very common western species that has recently expanded north into Washington, as this one was found at the northwestern point of Oregon where the Columbia River meets the Pacific Ocean in the town of Hammond on the edge of a salt marsh. Highly intelligent, this common prey of rattlesnakes has been known to outsmart attacks using many ingenious methods and is even thought to be somewhat immune to rattlesnake venom.

  • The Mexican jay is a gorgeous member of the crow and jay family that is found throughout Mexico and barely touches into parts of Texas, New Mexico and Arizona. Very similar to the Florida scrub jays in appearance from my birthplace in SW Florida, these noisy birds are intelligent, curious, and much like their relative - the magpie, are thieves for anything bright, shiny or tasty.

  • The California ground squirrel is a very common western species that has recently expanded north into Washington, as this one was found in the  Washington side of the Columbia Gorge with the Columbia River and Oregon in the background. Highly intelligent, this common prey of rattlesnakes has been known to outsmart attacks using many ingenious methods and is even thought to be somewhat immune to rattlesnake venom.

  • Like other jays, crows and ravens, the Stellars' jay is extremely intelligent. It has a number of calls which it used to communicate with other jays, and to trick other birds. It can imitate the cry of the red-tailedhawk, the red-shouldered hawk and other predators to dissuade them of staying in the area.

  • The provincial bird British Columbia, Canada - the very intelligent Stellar's jay is a close relation to crows, magpies and ravens.
