| Anna's Hummingbird July 5, 2026 |
Moving on from my previous post, Happy 4th, to share a happy capture of an Anna's Hummingbird just to the side of my front deck on Sunday, July 5. I believe she is one of my regular visitors, although that is truly difficult to say for sure. Clear blue skies provided plenty of sunshine. Temps in the mid-70s, which seemed like a blessing considering the heat wave over most of the Eastern USA.
The World
In the image below you'll see 3 cruise ships here in Seattle on July 1st. The ship closest is the Virgin Brilliant Lady, then the Carnival Miracle, and further out, The World. Yes, that's the name of the ship. Turns out people on that ship own their staterooms/homes/apartments and, if they wish, they sail with the ship wherever it goes. (Excuse me for this, but, yes, it simply sails around the world.) According to The World's website, they call the homes "residences". There are 165 residences of various sizes. Each year, a very limited number of private residences priced from USD $3.5 million to USD $15 million become available for resale. According to the website, Residence 1106 is currently “accepting offers” above USD $4,750,000. Details are on the website. If you will be making an offer, please let me know about it in the comments. 😂

Quick Eagle Update
If you've been with me since early this year you'll know I've been following Bald Eagles from hatch to fledge on the YouTube stream provided by Friends of Big Bear Valley. The Eaglets, Sandy and Luna, fledged on June 28 and 29. I've continued to keep an eye on the stream and, yes, the birds have returned to the nest everyday so far. The parents are bringing food to the nest for them. Below is a brief video of food delivery to the two young Eagles on Sunday afternoon, July 5, at about 4:37PM ... this is about one week after fledge ...
Thank you for stopping by John's Island.
