This immature red-shouldered hawk was chasing the belted kingfisher.
Both sped past me as I watched the speed display in awe.
I managed to photograph the hawk but not the kingfisher.

yearling
As this yearling eagle flew over the waters of Lake Mattamuskeet he started to furl his wings.
I hoped he would dive for whatever he was seeing – instead he flew on.
loons
I have been hearing the common loons on the lake for the past couple of weeks.
This morning I found 4 of them; the one to the left is a juvenile and the one to the right is an adult.
