Activity has been pretty typical for the time of year.
Bald Eagles continue to feed, this morning there were more than usual.
and this picture say's it all, the reason why we are an Important Bird and Biodiversity area, Bald Eagles and Trumpeter Swans
enjoying breakfast.
We must not forget the little guys ....
an Anna's Hummingbird this morning catching the first sunrays
and a Dark-eyed Junco.
In the afternoon we walked the dyke over at Harrison Bay, the river is so low and the water is so far away, pretty much beyond the ability of my camera to capture anything...
we did spot this Pied-billed Grebe out on the river, a species not seen all that often, at least in winter, they do nest in the quieter areas of the estuary in summer....
also this Double-crested Cormorant - a winter visitor. We used to have a lot more than we have had in recent years, partly because they removed an over head wire that they used to love to perch on.
there was activity at the 3rd eagle nest today, so all 3 nests in the area have been seeing activity, this pair raised young last year, hopefully this bodes well for the local eagle population.
Might as well finish off with a few more eagles....this one a young one...
we weren't sure just what this one was doing, posing with his wings out like this.
Should mention that we saw a Northern Shrike today but unfortunately, missed getting a picture of it.
