Clarinda, good photo of an adult BE. They come in all ages here.

And lots of duck species. Here's just one that's starting to gather for migration.

Both taken 9:30 to 10:00 AM on the rewind today.

Clarinda, three waterfowl IDs, thankyou!

The black-bellied whistling duck is likely to be a first for many who watch this Flyway cam, certainly for me. What a beauty. The males and females look the same, like bald eagles. Unusual for ducks.

In the mixed group, I think the large brownish ducks with white tail tips are mallards in nonbreeding plumage.  See also photo from Cornell.

The little ones in the group are  likely green-winged teal, the smallest of the dabbling ducks.

Flyway's sandhill cranes and great blue herons provide some interesting watching this afternoon, from about 1 - 2 PM.  No catching of prey, but these large birds are so graceful and entertaining.

Lots of different birds and activities.
Thanks to al the ID'ers.  So many go on my electronic birdwatching life list! :)

Will have to make a screen snap on rewind, but watched the Sandhill Cranes "Present Wings" as the Canadian geese passed in review in the rear. aka Airwing presents Dreadnought class "Pass in Review"  :)
