My Bald Eagle.

June 28 of 2007 the Interior
department took the American
Bald Eagle off of the endangered
species list.
The Bald Eagle is a member of the
fish eagle group. I am surprised to
find that there is very little difference
between the color male and female
color. I've seen two eagles the same
color patterns and assumed it was two
males or male and juvenile male. WRONG.


The Bald Eagle is known to fly at an altitude
of 10,000 feet. In level flight it can achieve
speed's of 30 to 35 mph. The Juvenile
reaches maturity in 4 to 5 years. In the
wild they can live as long as 30 years.

I've been trying to get photos of these Eagles
for awhile now, I'm getting closer. They
are beautiful.

I would hope for good light, and birds
who like to have their pictures taken.

Ducks in cold weather.

During our recent cold
spell the birds really slowed
down. On the first day the
temperature warmed the
water fowl acted like
it was spring. Funny to watch.


What did I tell you ?
The Ibis always shows
up at feeding time.

Rainy day Leaves

It's raining today so
I will not be going
into the woods to play.
I'll reach back into my
bag of fall leaves from
last year and enjoy the
colors.

Buzzard.

The word is "Buzzard",
Use the word "Buzzard"
in a sentence.
Buzzard, in a Sentence
"That old Buzzard has gone Snapping crazy".

This proves I'll snap a photo of
almost anything.

Favorite feeding Log

 This Ibis seems to favor this
log for choice feeding time.
It often has a friend to lunch.

Wood Stork.

The Stork delivers Babies; Not !!
In place of feathers on their
head, they have scaley skin.
Their were a pair of Storks,
but I was a bit to slow.

and the Hare. What say you ?
A call to order !!!!

Green Heron.

I came upon this Heron
while wandering the dike
out back of our Home. It
was grooming itself and
did not mind being my taking
it's photograph. It posed for
quite a while.















While watching it, I was hoping
to see it catch a fish, but it was
content to pick off flying insects
out of the air.

Fall in the Swamp.

There are so many creatures
that come to feed and drink
here. Getting any of them to
pose for a portrait is almost
impossable.
