Hawk kind of morning!

I saw two hawks chasing each other and then they landed in trees next to our back yard. I was able to get several photos of them.

Just look at those talons!

The lone osprey below sat on this limb for a couple of hours, just observing his surroundings.

Teamwork makes the Dream Work!!

Yeah, I know, not an original saying, but it is perfect for these eagle photos that I took this morning! It’s exciting seeing them work together on their nest. First they had a little squabble about exactly how to do it.

Not like that! Here, let me show you!

See . . . you go from this end and get it across the nest.

Ok. Now, grab your end!

Let it down gently . . . easy, easy!

Almost there! Just go straight down with it! We did it! Perfect!

Successful trip through Ding

There were several Roseate Spoonbills and other birds on our drive through Ding yesterday.  It won't be long before the winter birds will return, the feathered ones and the human type!

Yeehaw!!

An Osprey flew in, took a quick bath, and then took off again.

We watched this Reddish Egret do his dance for quite a while.  They are so funny when they are fishing for food!

The next three pics of Reddish Egrets are all different birds.  You can see the transmitter on the back of the Reddish Egret in the second photo.

We almost always see a couple of Yellow-Crowned Night Herons on the drive.

And then back home to find this pretty Great White Egret in our backyard.

Eagle Pair

I caught the pair of the eagles in the nest this morning as the sun was coming up.  I never get tired of seeing them, but you might get tired of all my photos of them before the season is over!

Facing the sun as it rises!  Could they look any more majestic?!
