the eagle

This is a picture my Grandpa took the other day. He and I went for a nature walk and a Bald Eagle flew right over us.

swans...

This past week about 50 swans have been staying in the field behind our house. I will post a movie of them flying away later. (I think they are tundra swans but they could trumpeter or mute swans).

We have a winner!

Actually, we have 3 winners. Congratulations to Mary, Christopher and Kim! Kim actually got all three correct, Stellar's Jay, Great Egret and wood duck. Since she is a bird photographer, it was easy for her. So, I am also going to give a prize to Mary and Christopher because they each got two right. Thanks for participating. Please leave me a comment (or send my mom a PM) to tell me if you want a stellar's jay paper puppet or a bluebird drawing. I need your addresses too.
