I think these photos speak for themselves. This is the best of my snow day tour today… I think my favorite is the last one when he’s looking over his shoulder at me.
Peace out,
Patti

Harula, My WP notification thingy is not working properly and so I am going back to old posts to see who I’ve missed. So sorry, I missed your comment.
Thank you and I am so glad that you loved these images as much as I did. Yesterday, we saw about 6 Bald Eagles at the beach, but they always fly about the time we see them. I was glad that the young one stayed put long enough to get some fairly good shots, although not as sharp as I would like.
Thank you for visiting and being a part of this. xo

Glad you liked the images and hope you keep coming back:>)

Of course I’ll keep coming back! 🙂

Big red winged hawk I think. They’re impressive — especially up close. We had one chowing down in our driveway a few weeks ago. Fortunately, when he left — rather huffily I think — he took his kill with him. I hate when they leave leftovers.

I studied a lot last night and found that it is a juvenile Peregrine Falcon. Eyes, beard, wing shapes are dif.

Is that an osprey or a hawk? Just stunning, but he looks cold.
December 8, 2013 at 2:12 pm
He is waiting for us to leave to eat his kill. Young Peregrine Falcon.

Wow!

My favorite is the winged one. Your ability to get interesting photos is amazing.
December 8, 2013 at 9:12 pm
Thank you! I would have completely missed him, but my friend saw him and backed up so I could take photos. Same with the eagles on two posts that I’m putting up later. Need to get my eyes checked again!

Beautiful Patti!

Thank you, Sheree.

Love these!

Thank you, I loved watching the surfers. I used to know all the regulars, but I’ve been holed up in the cave so long…
December 9, 2013 at 6:50 pm
Oh, just realized this comment goes with the Peregrine photos, not the surfers. Oops, so, I’ve never met this bird, but I hope he comes back:>)

Beautiful photos. That bird keeps an eye on you. A totem. I have a type of falcon called a Kestrel–a smaller falcon. One sat on the bluebird houses in the spring and kept the swallows and bluebirds away. I chased it away finally. Too big for the door of the house and too mean to the little birds. It stayed at the edge of the forest, or one of its relatives.
December 10, 2013 at 6:55 pm
Yes, and I hate thinking that the main meals for the big birds are smaller birds! Ah, life…
I love kestrels and their big bird in a small body ways:>) I’m glad things have settled down for your mil, for now. It is fortunate that paid help is an option.
Thank you for checking in.
