Two days ago I posted a mini-review of the new NOVA documentary on PBS entitled “Eagle Power”. A reader has provided additional and relevant information on the black fly incident that was very nearly lethal to the Decorah eaglets that played a pivotal role in the documentary.
I thought I might have a welcome and entertaining avian distraction during the Covid-19 lockdown. Not gonna happen.
A diversion from my lockdown miseries almost within arm’s reach from my computer desk.
Sometimes a bad habit can give us a second chance and allow us to avoid making a mistake.
After yesterday’s post featuring mating Red-tailed Hawks, today’s edition tells “the rest of the story”.
It was an incredible experience for me to actually learn the life history of a Prairie Falcon I’d photographed in the wilds of southwest Montana.,
The island is teeming with bugs right now and nesting Sage Thrashers are taking advantage of the situation.
By this time of year many American Avocets have already paired up and some of them are beginning early nesting activities.
I believe this is the male of a nesting pair of Red-tailed Hawks I photographed yesterday in northern Utah.
Four bird, one mammal and two “experience” photos – all taken within the last several weeks.
I was extremely impressed by how hard these woodpeckers worked at feeding their chicks and keeping their nest cavity clean.
As viewers we almost never know what it really took for the photographer to get that shot we like so much.
