So many interesting things go on at the Flyway!!  This afternoon, a young eagle trundled up to a large, part-full plastic bottle of some red liquid. I'm not a soda drinker, so???  The eagle worked on it for a while, never saw if it got opened.  Shortly after, a group of eagles was inspecting in an area of shallow water, not sure if it was the same place as the bottle.   Curiouser and curiouser.   ;)

Windy, wet, cold at the Flyway today. Gunfire in the background, so maybe open season for ducks or other waterfowl?

Pelicans huddle together for warmth & safety. Reminds me of a great white centipede.
