Milder temps this morning, good feeding for the migrators, good watching for the BEs.

Flyway sunsets can be really colorful. Today is no exception.

If you have a clear sky right after dark, you can celebrate this winter solstice by watching Jupiter and Saturn in closest proximity as viewed from your location. Maybe our cam ops will catch a good view, too.

Wonderful sunrise colors today. Birds are doing their average day things -- feeding, sitting, napping, watching.

Clear sunrise, very cold, no birds in view. 

Have a safe and enjoyable holiday today or whenever you celebrate in early winter.

Pretty pink sunrise today, and some open water for a few Canada geese and ducks. Adult BE in a tree (no pic of that). Otherwise, it's very quiet at the Flyway.

2021 is almost here!

Happy New Year to all of us

One BE is hanging around for New Year's celebrations, and some Canada geese think the water is fine for a quick dip.

Not much activity at the Flyway today, but the eagles are still there.
They watch and hope for prey.
We watch and hope for an end to Covid-19.

Is this a hawk or a juvenile peregrine falcon?

STL -- It's a Northern Harrier Hawk.  We saw one a few months ago on the Flyway and at that time I at first thought it was an owl.  Here's more info. and some photos:
