Most of these photos were from today, but the first two belonged to Monday. The Bald Eagle
pair was seen through the trees a half mile away, so I meandered out that way in order to obtain
a rare shot, since they are not seen together often. Since they rely on fish, none of the area birds
were bothered by their presence, and fearlessly went about their business.
Mr. Ruby-crowned Kinglet is getting quite familiar with me, and usually as soon as he sees me,
he swing over to say hello.
The sparrows have settled into the area for the winter, but most of them aren't there every day.
If I had to pick the most common, I would have to say over the years that it has been the
ubiquitous Song Sparrow, who I can see anywhere from twice to six times a day on a good day.
We're now in for a little warming trend, so let me get back to you on the weekend to see if anything
changes. The ducks have been coming in,m but I am not seeing the numbers that I normally
encounter for the winter.
