The white-tailed eagles (Haliaeetus albicilla) were out on their favorite perch again today. This is usually as good a picture as I can get of them, since they are very far away from any birding towers. #eagles#birds#ornithology#nature#naturalist 📷

One of the best pictures I have of a white-tailed eagle (Haliaeetus albicilla) near a birding tower by a lake here. It is usually way too far away for any decent photos, but this time it was on its way to its favorite perch and flew right by me. #birds#ornithology#eagles#nature#naturalist 📷

This mallard seems to be a bit late with having her offspring this year. This was September 1st. On the other hand, they don't migrate, so I'm sure it will be fine... #birds#chicks#ornithology#nature#naturalist 📷
