Camera Critter Saturday

Spring migration is upon us,  while taking the 1st photo I did not notice the two juvenile bald eagles in the tree watching the ducks, I cropped them out in the second photo.  It is always fun to get a "bonus" when taking pictures!

I wanted to include a link to an eagle web cam that is about 90 miles from my house, the eggs should be hatching any time.   It is fascinating!

Ducks and Geese

The ducks are starting to migrate through our area, the top photo is a Coot, or Mud Hen or Hell-Diver.  I'm sure everyone knows what the second photo is and I wish they were just migrating through but they stay here the year round.

I think Google must be having a bad hair day still, 1st they stole my blog and now I can't upload photos from within Picasa.  Good Grief. 

More Juvenile Bald Eagles

I know my last post was of the young bald eagles as well, but wanted to post again for Camera Critter Saturday.  The last pic is obviously not of the eagles but Jon Pickles voicing his complaints, which he is not shy about doing :).

I took these photos today. I think they are Norther Harrier Hawks but I am not positive.  I also saw several bald eagles but could not  get a decent picture of any of them. 

Someone identified these birds as juvenile bald eagles, I think they are correct.

I made this collage from photos taken last summer.

I had never planted Butterfly Bushes before as they are not hardy to my zone 4 garden but I did put one in last summer on the south side of the house in a protected area, I had scads of butterflies on it!  So this year I am planting more and if I have to treat them as annuals I will just to attract the butterflies.
