gull ephemera
Sometimes the details catch my attention: such as this gull feather.
return!
The ospreys have returned!
This is a female and her catch; her mate was fishing too.
It is a long migration flight for them – North Carolina to South America twice a year.
difference
The difference of a year in age can make a striking change in the color patterns of a bald eagle.
The bird up top is a 3 year old and the lower bird is a 4 year old.
alert chicks
Kate has just flown back from chasing off the intruder.
Both chicks are alert and trying to spot the danger.
One watching mom and one looking out over the cove.
