Clarinda, beautiful pics of the sandhill cranes.

Mallard pic from this morning -- AllAboutBirds photos show it as a non-breeding male, with a mottled green head.

BE on a hillock in shallow water this morning, too.  Beaver lodge?  Or home of some other critter?  Or just a big clump of vegetation?

Lisa, beautiful BE spent most of the afternoon perching in the same spot!

Ducks are really fat and ready for migration.

Overcast, chilly, windy at the Flyway today. Eagles bathing anyway. Best on the rewind.

It's an eagle-y morning at the Flyway.  It's worth a watch to tune in to the live video of many eagles perching in tree and on land.

Lisa, this year-and-a-half eagle has been perching most of the afternoon. Handsome for sure.

Re-posting the BE age progression chart from a while ago. It's very helpful for feather colors, eyes, and beaks. It's from AvianReport.com .

Welcome to November!  Sunrise color was spectacular, with a huge flock of birds (maybe ducks, maybe starlings, or ??) flying over.
