When I signed off Saturday I didn't think there would be another bird worth posting. But then there were others that show signs of spring and that Bald Eagles are very much making a return to this region. For one reason they have been under strict protective laws from the Endangered Species Act; and for another our surrounding counties are blessed with several river systems and natural bodies of water. There are three very marginal pictures from Saturday afternoon taken with a cell phone in my moving car. I hesitate posting: However, I err on the side of saving these magnificent birds & to document they are here. Here are the pictures and a link: http://www.allaboutbirds.org/g...
The other large bird I want to document is the Sandhill Crane which also made an appearance here late Saturday afternoon. Again, the pictures are 'rough' because they were from a distance of between 2,000 feet and a half mile from my window. I had to zoom at maximum distance even to ID them. (The farm house in the background is at least one mile away!) These were obviously in transit since they nest at distances far beyond the Canadian border well into Arctic regions and Alaska. Here is what I came up with & the link: (March 15, 2014) http://www.allaboutbirds.org/g...
The 4th picture shows two deer in the edge of the woods which we had not seen until maximum zoom. (There will be a new camera in my future somewhere!)
