February 11, 2022, Friday --  Coyote  --  Flyway

Coyote hanging out, watching for food.  Thanks to the camera operator, who so patiently tracked it.

Great pics, clarinda!

Three coyotes are hunting the grassy areas right now -- 4:30 PM -- in heavy snow.  Watch for closeups, and rewind for more, too.

Warm, in the 40s today. Great views on rewind of the nesting couple flying in and around their nest. Distant from the camera location, but good to see that they probably have eggs.  We call the pair the Coopers, right?

Northern Harrier perched for a good long time this morning. AllAboutBirds says the males are gray and white, like this one.

Beautiful sunrise today at the Flyway, at GSB, and at the North's location.

The Northern Harrier is back on the dead branch.

Local PBS station showed  "Decoding the Driftless" on Nova Wednesday evening.  RRP has provided links in the past, and it's probably available on PBS Passport if you are a member.  It's about the unusual geology of the flyway area, and includes bits about the wildlife such as the RRP bald eagles and peregrines. Describes the Flyway also.

Definitely great video of ice hockey eagles!

Eagles mating on the ice early this morning -- I'd say it is the Coopers, but there could be other pairs in the area.
One colorful sub-A and a group of three during the morning.

Starting to sound like spring at the Flyway, and temps are warming this week.  Red-winged blackbirds (males) are back and calling their very distinctive calls (no pic). Ducks (no pic) and sandhill cranes (pic with coyote) are back.  Male Northern Harrier hawk perching, BE on the ice. What fun and such variety.
