Where Have I Been/ Updates

Sorry Everyone, I am going to not post anything on this blog anymore

I have decided to just focus on my fashion and 

my random blog.

I won't close down this blog I just don't feel the need to post anymore

so now it will just be an encyclopedia.

Sincerely,
Hannah


P.S. The only thing I will change is the countdown widget to random
countdowns.

Eagle and Baby

Harbor Seal

We have been seeing a few of these in WA.

"Hi There!"

"What are you looking at?"

       
     "The harbor (or harbour) seal (Phoca vitulina), also known as the common seal, is a true seal found along temperate and Arctic marine coastlines of the Northern Hemisphere. The most widely distributed of pinniped (walruses, eared seals, and true seals), they are found in coastal waters of the northern Atlantic and Pacific oceans, the Baltic and North Seas.

Harbor seals are brown, tan, or gray, with distinctive V-shaped nostrils. An adult can attain a length of 1.85 meters (6.1 ft) and a mass of 132 kilograms (290 lb). Females outlive males (30–35 years versus 20–25 years). Harbor seals stick to familiar resting spots or haulout sites, generally rocky areas (although ice, sand and mud may also be used) where they are protected from adverse weather conditions and predation, near a foraging area. Males may fight over mates underwater and on land. Females bear a single pup, which they care for alone. Pups are able to swim and dive within hours of birth, developing quickly on their mothers' fat-rich milk. Blubber under their skins helps to maintain body temperature.

Their global population is 5-6 million, but subspecies in certain habitats are threatened. Once a common practice, sealing is now illegal in many nations within the animal's range."-Wikipedia

Bald Eagle

I saw this one from my lookout on the puget sound and
 hurried and snapped a shot!

In case you don't live in America the bald
 eagle is our national bird!

"The Bald Eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus Greek hali = salt, aeetus = eagle, leuco = white, cephalis = head) is a bird of prey found in North America. It is the national bird of the United States of America and appears on its Seal. This sea eagle has two known sub-species and forms a species pair with the White-tailed Eagle. Its range includes most of Canada and Alaska, all of the contiguous United States, and northern Mexico. It is found near large bodies of open water with an abundant food supply and old-growth trees for nesting.

Its diet consists mainly of fish, but it is an opportunistic feeder. It hunts fish by swooping down and snatching the fish out of the water with its talons. It is sexually mature at four years or five years of age. The Bald Eagle builds the largestnest of any North American bird, up to 4 meters (13 ft) deep, 2.5 meters (8.2 ft) wide, and one metric ton (1.1 tons) in weight.^[2]

The adult Bald Eagle is mainly brown with a white head and tail. The sexes are identical in plumage, but females are larger than males. The beak is large and hooked. The plumage of the immature is brown. Bald Eagles are not actuallybald, the name derives from the older meaning of the word, "white headed".

In the late 20th century the Bald Eagle was on the brink of extirpation in the continental United States, while flourishing in much of Alaska and Canada. Populations recovered and stabilized, so the species was removed from the U.S. federal government's list of endangered species and transferred to the list of threatened species on July 12, 1995, and it was removed from the List of Endangered and Threatened Wildlife in the Lower 48 States on June 28, 2007."-Wikipedia

Dungeness Crab!

                                     

RESULT:

"The carapace widths of mature Dungeness crabs may reach 25 centimetres (9.8 in) in some areas off the coast of Washington, but are typically under 20 centimetres (7.9 in).^[2]They are a popular delicacy, and are the most commercially important crab in the Pacific Northwest, as well as the western states generally.^[3] The annual Dungeness Crab and Seafood Festival is held in Port Angeles each October.^[4]

Dungeness crabs have a wide, long, hard shell, which they must periodically moult to grow; this process is called ecdysis. They have five pairs of legs, which are similarly armoured, the foremost pair of which ends in claws the crab uses both as defence and to tear apart large food items. The crab uses its smaller appendages to pass the food particles into its mouth. Once inside the crab's stomach, food is further digested by the "gastric mill", a collection of tooth-like structures. M. magister prefers to eat clams, other crustaceans and small fish, but is also an effective scavenger. Dungeness crabs can bury themselves completely in the sand if threatened." -Wikipedia

The pics are from me! This is me taking pics of crab and one is my Dad pulling up one of our traps! ~Hannah
By the way, if you have crabbed before you may see we have some crab that are too small,but don't worry we threw them back in!
Second Trip:

 

We got a ton more the second trip!

Seagull!

Fly away!

Hi there!

The babies are so cute!

I took this pic and the two below!

Gulls or seagulls are birds in the family Laridae. They are most closely related to the terns and only distantly related to auks, skimmers, and more distantly to the waders. Wikipedia

New Video Update!

Here is a vid, I thought you all would enjoy!

New Vlog Event

The new vlog event is where I will be putting updates at least weekly on some of my animals and home and stuff! This was really just a welcome!

Platypus!

"The platypus (Ornithorhynchus anatinus) is a semi-aquatic mammal endemic to eastern Australia, including Tasmania. Together with the four species of echidna, it is one of the five extant species of monotremes, the only mammals that lay eggsinstead of giving birth to live young. It is the sole living representative of its family (Ornithorhynchidae) and genus(Ornithorhynchus), though a number of related species have been found in the fossil record.

The unusual appearance of this egg-laying, venomous, duck-billed, beaver-tailed, otter-footed mammal baffled European naturalists when they first encountered it, with some considering it an elaborate fraud. It is one of the few venomous mammals, the male platypus having a spur on the hind foot that delivers a venom capable of causing severe pain to humans. The unique features of the platypus make it an important subject in the study of evolutionary biology and a recognisable and iconic symbol of Australia; it has appeared as a mascot at national events and is featured on the reverse of the Australian 20 cent coin. The platypus is the animal emblem of the state of New South Wales.^[3]

Until the early 20th century, it was hunted for its fur, but it is now protected throughout its range. Although captive breeding programmes have had only limited success and the platypus is vulnerable to the effects of pollution, it is not under any immediate threat."-Wikipedia

 

Steller Jay

Hi there!

I'm purty!

"The Steller's Jay (Cyanocitta stelleri) is a jay native to western North America, closely related to the Blue Jay found in the rest of the continent, but with a black head and upper body. It is also known as the Long-crested Jay, Mountain Jay, and Pine Jay. It is the only crested jay west of the Rocky Mountains.

The Steller's Jay shows a great deal of regional variation throughout its range. Blackish-brown-headed birds from the north gradually become bluer-headed farther south. The Steller's Jay has a more slender bill and longer legs than the Blue Jay and has a much more pronounced crest. The head is blackish-brown with light blue streaks on the forehead. This dark coloring gives way from the shoulders and lower breast to silvery blue. The primaries and tail are a rich blue with darker barring.

It occurs in coniferous forest over much of the western half of North America from Alaska in the north to northern Nicaraguacompletely replacing the Blue Jay in most of those areas. Some hybridization with the Blue Jay in Colorado has been reported. The Steller's Jay lives in coniferous and mixed woodland, but not in completely dense forest, and requires open space. It typically lives in flocks of greater than 10 individuals. In autumn, flocks often visit oak woods when acorns are ripe."-Wikipedia

I was about to fly!
I've seen a lot of these in Truckee.

Pony of the Americas

This one is bay varnish roan.

Cutie isn't he?

The Pony of the Americas (POA) is a pony breed developed in the state of Iowa in the United States. The foundation stallion was an Arabian/Appaloosa/Shetland pony cross. A breed registry was founded in 1954, and within 15 years had registered 12,500 ponies. Today, the Pony of the Americas Club is the most active, youth-oriented club in the US. Although called ponies, POAs have the phenotype of a small horse, combining mainly Arabian and American Quarter Horse attributes. The registry is open, allowing blood from many other breeds, but has strict criteria for entry, including Appaloosa coloration, specified height and other physical characteristics. Although mainly bred for Western riding, the breed has been used for many other disciplines, includingdriving, endurance riding and some English disciplines. -Wikipedia

Hamsters

I have had over 7 hamsters. Right now I am pet sitting one for my friend as my recent one has passed away.
Hamsters are often thought to be very cute and cuddly,but some are not. Like robo dwarf hamsters are very cute but the do not liked to be held. Teddy hamsters, winter white hamsters, and black bear hamsters are all nice(with some training) and like to be held. I recommend Teddy hamsters the most as they are the kindest and biggest ones (easy to find if they get out). Hamsters also do call for a lot of attention, if you don't hold one for a while they might not like it much when you do pick him/her up again. Hamsters also do stink up their cages ALOT. It might smell in your room if you don't give it a thorough cleaning at least once every two weeks. Their teeth can also get very long if you don't give them things to chew on (sticks, etc from pet store)

My Favorite Horse Breed!

The dapple gray is a common coloring in thoroughbreds.

The thoroughbred is well known for their amazing racing skills,as well, as cross-country, and eventing. Thoroughbreds were first bred in England, with Arabians, Barbs, and Turkomans. It took quite a bit of cross-breeding to have what we now have today.

Appearance:

They are well-built horses, with large heads and fine muscles, you can often see their veins.

By the way: I do not own any of these video's I am posting they are just for the learning of it! I also do not mean to advertise for anyone!

Shih Tzu

Cutest dog ever, right?

  "She is too cute to be true,"

       Not many know this dog, the Shih Tzu, as to be closely related to the wolf, and hard to train, but lovable companions. The pictures above the video and the second video is actually my own cute little, Imperial Toy Shih Tzu, she is not well groomed at the moment, but she soon will be, at least I hope the groomers will make her look better. Please watch the video. Comment please. Thanks!

American White Horse

The American White, is a stocky well built horse, that is always white, thin neck, started by breeding some Morgans.
