Great pic, Clarinda.  Is there a more varied species on Earth than the birds?  Well, I suppose so, but aren't they wonderful?

(Personally, I object to referring to bald eagles as bullies.)

Agree with you, I object to them being called bullies.

Hanging out at the Flyway on a quiet afternoon. Rewind from 2PM for at least 3 different ages of BEs.

Couple of beautiful sub-adult BEs enjoyed the sandhill crane chorus about 10 AM.

Looks like the birds are competing with the trees for flashy colors this weekend.

Maybe an hour ago, a juvenile peregrine falcon perched on the same deadfall as those multi-hued BEs.

Great closeup, Clarinda.  Have the cam ops ever spotted a BE with a leg band, does anyone know? Or other banded birds?

Thank you.  Not that I remember.  Unless they were in tight on leg area, would be hard to see.  The local Peregrine Falcons are banded, I think.

Could also be Tundra swans, which migrate through the Flyway. Trumpeters are larger than Tundras. Heads show differences too, so we need closeups from the cam ops!

Last week two Trumpeter Swans were spotted at Loess Blluffs National Wildlife Refuge over on Missouri River.  Will wait to see more views.
