Mixed Venues — pat morss

No particular topic this time.

Last March, a few plastic plantings were added to a tree cavity.
By August, the theme was headed toward Jurassic Park.
This March the growing number of offerings is overwhelming.
One of several passing deer chose to check out the bird feeder activity.
Mallard squadron departing from Niles Pond.
NOT the horizon and clouds, but just flat ice beyond open water on the pond.
A lone Red-breasted Merganser displaying his diving skills at Brace Cove.
The dive is instantaneous.
He spent more time underwater than above.
One of our sociable winter residents, a damp Downy Woodpecker.
A flock of Cedar Waxwings was tossing berries around.
Quite satisfied following Sunday brunch.

Backyard Eagle Show

Posted on by Pat D

Our Magnolia backyard was the stage for quite the eagle show recently. We had not seen eagles around our home recently so it was a lovely surprise to welcome them back to the neighborhood, even if only for a brief hunt and meal. One eagle with some brown plummage still remaining (so not a full adult yet–perhaps 4+ yrs old) settled in our “resting tree” but soon took off and circled over the marsh until it caught its prey. It returned to the tree to enjoy in peace but an agitated hawk did not allow the peace to remain. The hawk caused the eagle to pick up its prey and depart. After a short time, both this eagle and a second juvenile eagle returned to circle over the marsh on the hunt. It was a majestic sight to see two eagle circling and hunting right from the comfort of our deck. I hope they return soon.
