Yay for Lexie! Glad we could help.   

 

Here's a great pic of a Martial Eagle.

Really cool picture!  I'm going to take a wild guess and say it's a Puffin.   

I agree Carol. The wings look puffin-like! 

 :panda:Love it!

she is probably hiding watching you and giggling as you look for her

I'm sure you're right Kris!  

Ah, one of lifes' lessons -duck style!   

  I like your pics very much Aafke! Thanks!

  Thankfully he's a very lucky eagle! 

     Soooo cute!   

I'll say it's a Blue-winged Teal.

Her beak opened wide and HACK!, HACK!, HACK!, HACK!  On the 5th HACK! a large, gray shapeless lump fell from her beak.  I watched as it fell over the ledge to the playpen below.  Well, that was fun!  Hahahahaha!

You just see it all huh Carol? Right place, right time!

I love to study their behavour.  I could sit for hours just watching them.   

The more you watch different birds, the more you notice similar behavours.  Fascinating!

If I lived in Rochester, I'd get a job as a Street Cleaner. That way I'd be out all day, (not doing my job), just watching Falcons. Probably that job wouldn't last long.

Before the condos were built in the old Kodak visitor's parking lot across from the Kodak Tower, I always wanted to be the guard that worked there.  He had a little guard shack, totally surrounded by glass and it was heated!  I would have been happy to talk to the visitor's and watch M&K on the tower all day long.  

I forget his name, but he was definitely a fan and would talk to us about the falcons, always asking how they were doing.  He would feed the pigeons every morning.  I bet they miss him.

And the pigeons fed M&K and there offspring!

Well I know you wouldn't get any work done cuz street cleaners have to look down. Watchers have to look up! Keep your eyes to the sky!
 

   Makes me sick!  

PS

White Egret. I actually took this pic when I was in Fla. Sometimes I do something right. 

Nice pic Donna!     I believe this is an immature Great Egret.
