Not a very  HAPPY HALLOWEEN at the Flyway, unless you are fond of snowy weather.

Many sandhill cranes and pelicans still around at the Flyway today.

Quiet water this morning, great for reflections of birds and more.
Also, sounds like duck season for hunters.  Yes?

The posing log is an eagle SPA this afternoon, with a large group of all ages gathered.  What I first thought was 2 sub-adults bathing next to each other might have been the result of a fight, and one seemed kind of attached to the other when they tried to separate.  Could be talons embedded or caught in fish line, or something else.  After a short while, they did get separated, and after some flapping of wings were able to fly back to the log and the grassy area nearby.  Hope this gets on the video!  Also hope no serious injuries to these two.

Daylight, and a large group of eagles is hanging around with something in the shallow water that they are picking at.  No food fights because they aren't really hungry.  For great looks, see the rewind.

Phyl, great pic of the eagles on the fallen log (I call it the posing log).  The cam ops have perfect views at this location!

Here's a pair that could be the Coopers, the resident pair at the Flyway, late this afternoon, proclaiming their territory, or just chattering to the wind.

Great videos surely will be available from the Flyway activities today!  One already at the chat room of an eagle bringing grasses to the camera pole early this morning.  On the rewind you can watch a group of eagles bathing together, all in a row [see pic], then there's a sweet scene of eagles and sandhill cranes in a mixed parade [see other pic].  Thanks to the cam ops for their diligence and great results!   ;D
