Juvie BEs are such fun to watch! About an hour ago (8:45 AM) there's an entertaining encounter between a juvie and 3 crows with leftovers of a duck, mostly a wing. The juvie is very timid, but finally gets its snack.

Enjoy these days of watching.  I'm so grateful for the RRP.  Stay safe and be healthy, y'all.

Cold rainy windy day APR 3 2020. Several pelicans are napping on a bald eagle perch this afternoon. The eagles must have found a huge umbrella, maybe at someone's boat dock, what do you think?    ;D

Closeup of 3 ducks: blue-winged teal male (see light blue patch on wing) and female in front, and green-winged teal male in the rear. Rewind to about 10-ish this morning for good views.

One sandhill crane feeding earlier today. There was a great blue heron also, but too far away for a good picture.  And a spectacular red dawn even earlier today.

Great blue heron fishing this morning, rewind to about 10:30 a.m. CDT. Didn't make a catch and flew away.

There's a pip at the Great Spirit Bluff falcon nest! Go to the nest cam and scroll back about an hour from now (5:00 DST). One parent on the eggs, the other brings in a prey (bird), offers food and chatters to the pipping egg, which chirps back. So cool.

My Sibley looks like it's a Northern Shoveler.  Watched them and wondered myself, but didn't check until I read your inquiry, Nora ;)

Thanks!  I was in the middle of some things and hadn't looked it up.  Cool :)
