Mississippi River Flyway Bald Eagle bathing moment

Love that gif, Lori, as you can probably tell from my avatar.  ;D

I've been on the flyway cam sporadically this year, but will have it up constantly now that the Decorah cams are in maintenance mode.  So glad we have this option! 

After watching the video of the two bathing, I thought how funny it would be if you caught a gif of the sideways run/hop/fly that they both did to dry off!

I know!  :)

Where else can you see several species of birds all at the same time?!  This is great!  Does the camera do a full 360?  It seemed like it from the last panning they did.

I can try to get it... with the software I have I usually do it on live stream have have it playing at the exact right time, press control shift G (at the same time) hover over the area to capture and talons crossed it works... this is all in the works for me... pretty soon I'll be the gif master and teach you how to do it! :)   It captures 7 seconds of video.  ::)

This is definitely more entertaining than Summer reruns!  ;D

Just saw this bird on a prior forum post and it's an egret.  I wasn't sure until I saw the post.

Great comments, T40!  I could just hear Pacino saying that! 

I already left a message in the Decorah Eagles 2019 thread, but I'll mention it here also.  I just uploaded the ATF pics from my binoculars a little while ago (in the ATF thread).  It does take great pictures, and once I learn the settings, I should be able to document quite a bit next year.  Thanks to Eagle Angels who mentioned it in chat and piqued my curiosity!  :)

Can someone identify this waterbird? Screen shot about an hour ago.

What's your favorite online resource for identifying ducks and other water birds?

Occasionally, I still use the 1946 edition of John James Audubon's "The Birds of America" that my parents gave me when I was 5 years old! My grandkids think it's quaint but cool.

I checked in explore.org comments and camop spish indicated this is an American Coot.   I usually ask on comments section in explore.org OR in here.  :)

For on-line bird identification I use both Audubon's Bird ID and Cornell Lab's Merlin.  For books I use Sibley Birds (second edition) and for Wisconsin birds in particular I use Birds of Wisconsin Field Guide by Stan Tekiela.

American Coot -- I knew that! Thanks for confirmation.
And about bird ID books, Stan Tekiela also has Birds of Missouri, Birds of Illinois, Birds of Michigan. Great field guides, and you can search the pages by the main color of the bird.

Nice to see chatters from Decorah and Decorah North here at the Flyway. The variety of birds is awesome. And almost always eagles.

I love the way each kind of bird is in it's own row.
