And I managed to catch this series of the resident Canada Geese taking off & forming up their V

I was a bit hissy today...had to go into work and it was too late when I got done for my long walk.  Had to do the short paved path by the road, but it paid off birdwise better than the woods!

I heard this red-tail before I saw her



I met a couple on the path & pointed her out.  I told them I'd have to look at the pictures at home, but I got the impression she was youngish-her voice sounded young.  It may be wishful thinking, but I think in this digital zoomed (so blurry) one she has one or two brown tail feathers left and it seems her eyes are lighter than an adult.

Both eggs hatched...they're getting BIG!

And, in the meantime, Quest has flown west across Lake Ontario to a what seems to be a water treatment plant just south of Mississauga.  That's about 150 miles.

She's been out that way a couple of times, but she's back at Lennox as of yesterday. 



Makes you wonder what lures her west (probably a flock of birds) and what lures her back to where she started.  Not quite as dramatic as her trip from Cape Cod to New Jersey and back last year, but a similar pattern.  Interesting since she doesn't have a firmly established "territory" quite yet.

I do the same Ei...just hang my cam out window and hope for something. At least you did it right. Good job.

 

One of these days I'm going to put an album together of my car photos.  Most of them are neat clouds...



But I did catch this redtail perched in a tree yesterday



I was on my way home from the periodontist in Saratoga Springs

On my way home from grocery shopping I spotted 2 adult bald eagles playing talon tag!  There was no where to stop, so I grabbed my camera and randomly took some pictures through the window.  I actually caught them in one shot! 



They really are there...just to the left of the top of the pole



I did clearly see their white heads and tails as they flipped around & around dancing with each other in the air!  I guess the winter residents have returned!

My calendars arrived today (of course I had to get both) as well as my license plate frame (I was waiting for the calendars to be ready)...the photography is outstanding as always and rfalconcam blue matches my car perfectly!  Thanks everyone for all your hard work!

There's a Great Horned Owl visiting Central Park...Lincoln has some fabulous photos posted of him today...

And Bruce Yolton has photos & videos at his blog Urban Hawks

Same picture, different captions...all cute...

          

Sorry to say, we had no luck finding Quest.  It seems we're destined to miss her by a day.   

Well, thanks for trying! 

Ir was a quiet but pleasant day...thanks again!

Finally a moment to start catching up on the Cleveland board...

From Kim in Italy...
