Now this is a fun photo. These three Goldfinch were just having a party, and I was able to catch this. Party time.

Blue Heron

I have been watching this Blue Heron for weeks. I normally see her pond hopping, flying between small ponds in search of places to ‘fish’.

Zoom in and look at those eyes. Shorlty after I took this photo, she took to The air, and gone. The ‘in-flight’ photo is not as good, but it’s still a fun picture.

Hey, this is my pirch ....

I was setting in my car when I saw this sparrow land. She was near the bottom of this 3 foot tall Compassplant. She climbed to the top, and seemed to shot out, “I am in control. This is my pirch and I’m not moving”. It was cute.

Blue jay

 I saw this Blue Jay a few days ago. He was near the top of a tree, a long way from where I was standing. I took the photo anyway.  For some reason Blue Jays shots are always difficult. They don’t set still for long. I injoy the challenge:).

Getting big ...

For several months, I have been watching this pair of eagles create a family. For many reasons, you don’t want to get too close, but when possible, I have snapped photos from about 100 to 150 yards. I have really been careful to avoid creating any stress for them. 

For the last few days, the eaglets have been perched on this tree. I don’t know if they have taken their first flight yet, but if not, it will be soon. They are eating an amazing quantity of food by now, and Mom and Dad are likely spending all day hunting to keep them growing. Before long, they will be off hunting on their own.

It is a beautiful sight. I have seen Mon and Dad out hunting a few times, and have taken a few photos, but this photo excited me most. I think need to name them:).
