Cornell's All About Birds has a free lesson on recognizing different brown female ducks. Very helpful.

Thanks, Lisa. The Flyway will be our refuge when the Decorah cameras turn off for maintenance.

Sandhill cranes are gathering at the Flyway. Evening is a good time to hear them singing to each other.  Crooning cranes!

One nice view of a juvenile (no red head), and adults front and back.

Checked in Thursday Evening was amazed at the number of Great Egrets, Sandhill Cranes, Pelicans and others.  So thankful places like the Flyway exist to provide migratory flocks safety and food.

Clarinda, there are so many black and white birds here at the Flyway, without a closeup of head, feet, wings, it would be only a guess.  BEs aren't picky; they will eat any bird they can catch or steal.

The good news is that the Flyway camera stays on (I think!) and the Flyway Chat continues.  So let's keep sharing photos and comments here at the Forum and on the live feed.

Love those pelicans, Clarinda.

This afternoon about 4 PM, several juvie BEs squabbled over prey. One maintained control of it and the others flew off. I'm thinking a brown duck of some kind. On rewind I think I saw plucking of feathers, and later a wide, flat could-be wing.

Good shot of mantling.  Sharing not a Bald Eagle trait. LOL

Clarinda, your sunset-silhouettes would make good T-shirt designs, both the sandhills and the eagle at sunset.
