This morning, Common Goldeneye ducks, all black & white males as seen from distance. They may return before the females, which are brown.

Bald eagles are gathering as the ice goes out. More fish, more ducks, good feeding times.

It's eagle time at the Flyway.  Rewind to 10:00 this morning for oodles of eagles way out on the ice.  Close up, here's a beauty of a young sub-adult.

Mallards have returned also. This flock looks like all males, dabbling until a flying eagle spooks them into flight.

Lots of eagles way out on the ice this morning, 8:30 AM or so.

And female mallards have joined the males.

Sub-adult BEs come in so many color patterns!

About 9:30, cam ops found a pair perching close together, guessing that it could be The Coopers, the local nesting pair.  They hollered at another BE that flew past.

Eagles in the cam ops views this morning.  And one sandhill crane navigating the snowy grasses.
