By Breakfast Biscuit

The crow had found a leftover biscuit somewhere. Apparently it was a very hard biscuit. Crows know to soak things that need to be softened. This biscuit gets several dips. The shorebird that shows up occasionally is a greater yellow legs. I hope you enjoy the crow and his breakfast.

anon I will be but a memory
but today that letting go
that surrender to the wind
is not to be
today I am still vibrantly me

By 3-year-old bald eagle minute

There is nothing quite like the arrogance of a 3-year-old bald eagle. This one is showing the definitive 3-year face stripe that is almost a mask. It’s beak still has some smudges of darkness as it goes towards the bright yellowing of an adult. Raptors often rest with 1 foot up like this one is doing. If it were cold that resting foot might have been tucked up against its tummy. Hope you enjoy this part of the cruise that Captain Doug and I took yesterday at Jordan Lake.

By Cold!

Jordan Lake. The 28°F weather this morning caused the normally very sleek little brown-headed nuthatch to get all puffed up as his feathers trapped heat against his body. That did not slow down his hunting. He’s got an insect of some sort for his breakfast.
