Lots of these froglets in the yard this year, there Pacific Treefrogs which are also known as Pacific Chorus Frogs, these are the size of a finger nail so very tiny.

Wikipedia: The Pacific reef heron (Egretta sacra), also known as the eastern reef heron or eastern reef egret, is a species of heron found throughout southern Asia and Oceania. In Australia, Pacific reef herons inhabits most of the coastline, and offshore islands including the Torres Strait Islands. Pacific reef herons are widespread across Micronesia, with breeding records in Guam, the Marshall Islands, Northern Mariana Islands, and Palau, among various other islands. The species also breeds throughout western Polynesia, including in Fiji, French Polynesia, and Tonga – though it does not breed in Niue.
It occurs in two color morphs with either slaty grey or pure white plumage. The sexes are similar in appearance.

Yes, we have a Pacific Ocean down here too...
A short 925 gets up to speed after a crew change and shunt at Timaru before resuming its journey south. It will add to its load at Pukeuri (and possibly Oamaru) within the hour.

Anas superciliosa
Mother duck said "Quack, quack, quack, quack." But only two little ducks came back
Just kidding there was five but the other three didn't want their photo taken
Sunsets can get so saturated on a zero degree horizon over water. I may have to return to the ocean soon.
Pacific Gull, Larus pacificus
≠=============≠
The Gull had scored an urchin. To break it open it flew up high over a rocky outcrop and dropped it. After several attempts it landed to enjoy its delicious seafood meal.
After driving 92.8 Miles in the rain, we were greeted with this wonderful sunrise at Pacific City, Oregon. We really got lucky on our window of time to shoot because after we finished shooting and got back to the pub for some brews and breakfast at 9:45am, the thunder and lightning and heavy rains had started.... There were actually cars that almost got flooded out in the parking lot!!!! Crazy!!!!!

On my way home today I spotted this sky; from Vancouver Island looking across the straight of Georgia over top of Denman Island
Surprise in the boggy undergrowth, not very striking because the flowers are so pale, but light and airy
Taken at Tuggerah Lakes, a wetland system of three interconnected coastal lagoons, are located on the Central Coast of New South Wales, Australia
The frogs have been surprisingly cooperative this summer so expect a few (i.e. "LOTS") more pictures.
A great singer! I had difficulty acquiring this photo as it kept trying to get too close for focus length. Had fun watching him and thought he might try to land on my camera lens.
A personal first time spotting one of these little wrens at the pond. They typically are not found there, from what I've been told.
The Pacific sea nettle’s large bell is yellow to reddish-brown, and its long, ruffled tentacles can be yellow to dark maroon. These tentacles are covered with stinging cells, which are lethal to prey. The sea nettle’s stings aren’t dangerous to humans, although they are painful. Source: National Aquarium website

There was an Ice shelf that allowed for the Loon to pass within focal range and offered us several opportunities as it passed back and forth.
