For a misty-moisty day, it's surprising we saw this variety. Besides bad weather, most pics were taken through glass.
Early in the AM, an eagle head could be seen in the nest. She was there in the PM and probably Dad eagle was flying away from the nest area. Probably shopping for dinner!....
One of the juvies was perched near the office. It left, of course, but thankfully returned for quite awhile...
Down in the River was a male Common Merganser, one of a group....
Looking through the back window to check for ospreys, here was a pileated woodpecker on old oak tree....
Who's this shuffling through the leaves?....
It's Mr. Rufous-sided Towhee with sunflower seed in his beak....
OSPREY Alert from naturalists in other building! They said it was perched on top of the camera platform, but was down in the water below when I could see it.....
It took a bath!!!!.....
BIG surprise at end of day! When getting into car, heard osprey chirps, but saw nothing. A few yards down the road, our bird was perched in a tree!!!....
