I guess you have heard we have a big snow predicted...starting Wednesday night. I did make the time to get in a supply of catfood today...we dare not run out of their food. When I came home from there, before I even got out of the car I spotted an eagle.
I had to run in the house and grab my camera and get back out...it was fairly high up and north of us quite a bit. It was circling, and part of the time I could not see it when it turned a certain way. That is how far it had gotten.
This is a cropped portion of te photo...you can click on all my pics and open bigger. Or if you right click and choose to open in a new tab, it will usually open even bigger.

I had to do a few things inside...besides put away what I had bought. And I did set for a few minutes. Also had to take Roger's glasses to have a nose piece put back on. I doubt if tat was 15 minutes total time...
I decided since I had ran all day long that I might as well go to the strip pits...Roger went with me. We were not disappoint. Though the snow geese were not very active, about half the lake was covered with them...the half farthest away from us. But the White-fronted geese were active...though no good pics of them. You may think these are Canada geese but they aren't. Thought I like the white-fronted geese, I miss the sound of the Canada Geese.
And several swans went over....

What I really wanted to share was this little video that popped up the other day.
I love your picture of the eagle. The cropped pictures shows it very well. The picture of the swans is just beautiful! We have a big snow predicted to come in tomorrow night. It may be the same one you are expecting Wednesday night.
ReplyDeleteWe are to have another Arctic front move into our area. No snow tho.
ReplyDeleteLoving your bird watching photos ...each and all.
I hope your snow storm doesn't head this way as well. I've had enough snow.

Great shots of the Eagle, geese and swans. Take care, enjoy your day and week ahead.
ReplyDeleteYou sure get to see some neat things. It always amazes me that there is so much beauty to behold.
ReplyDeleteGreat video. That was the easiest food that eagle every found. I always enjoy your bird photos too. What a great way to enjoy nature as you go about your business.
ReplyDeleteWe are getting that storm on Friday this week, the fourth in the last five weekends. Enough already. Well February is a short month.
To see an eagle, even far away is always a thrill.
ReplyDeleteGreat bird pictures! I hope you don't get TOO much snow. And please, no wind to start a blizzard.
ReplyDeleteWonderful picture of the eagle. Haven't heard of a storm coming our way.
ReplyDeleteThey surely are a majestic bird aren’t they? I enjoyed these and the others very much. Watching birds fly overhead is really something. Thanks also for the video. You found another fun one to watch, and how I would have loved to be in that boat. Thanks Rose, enjoy the rest of your week.
