Thanks Lisa and Peep!  I kind of thought it might be, but wasn't positive.

Great pics KRD and T40

Grabbed this s-cap this morning, and I'm pretty sure the ducks are mallards, but have no idea what the small bird is that's fishing near them.  Anyone know?

NW -- I think it's a Greater Yellowlegs. Here's a fairly recent pic that RRP posted on their FB page.

I agree, and thank you for that info Ginger!  I used the comparisons to determine if it was a greater or lesser yellow legs and from what I could tell, it matched the greater description better.

Love those gifs, Lori!  Is it wrong to say that eagles are 'cute' when they run/walk?  :)

Thank you RRP and your excellent Cam Operators.  This morning has been a visual delight.  A young eagle in the morning sunshine with gentle breeze blowing.  Incredible.

Amazing how much Lake Onalaska changes after a heavy rain event.  Takes a while to get your bearings when the waterscape changes so much!  Still love it though....even if I can't ID 90% of the birds there.  :)
Use the talents you possess: for the woods would be very silent if no birds sang except the best.

Can you spot the eagles in this sea of white birds?  LOL

I just noticed what you mean eburg!  Downed trees that were on dry land are now in water or surrounded by water.  Wish some of their rain would come my way!  That garden hose is getting awfully heavy.   :)

Some Tuesday pics I sent to a friend of my Iowa cousin who lives in a retirement village.  She's followed the Decorah eagles for a while, and I'm introducing her to the Flyway cam now.  These cams mean so much to people whose daily life is restricted by health issues.  God bless RRP and all the wonderful folks that volunteer their time and energy to make this possible!
