Peregrine Falcons

Posted by Kim Steininger under Birds

I’m stuck inside today so I’m going through images on my laptop and came across some Peregrine Falcon images from this past summer that I don’t think I’ve ever posted. Peregrines are one of my favorite birds!

I wish there were some clouds in the sky…

It’s kind of hard to see her, but if you look really closely in the lower left in the branches you can see a falcon sitting on a nest. This is one of the only pair in New Jersey that actually nest on a cliff.

Bald Eagles galore!

Posted by Kim Steininger under Birds

The Conowingo dam is the place to be if you want to see Bald Eagles! See this link for directions.

As you can see, they’re catching a lot of fish!

Going down for a fish!

We call this guy GPS Man because he has a tracking device on his back.

There’s a lot of chasing going on! It looks like the guy on the left is upside down with his head turned. At one time yesterday I counted 8 birds chasing each other! Unfortunately they were too far away to get a decent shot.

Unfortunately these guys were too far away to get a really good picture but they were talon locked for a while spinning around in circles!

When I was there last Sunday I counted over 100 eagles sitting on the rocks so there are probably close to 200 of them there!!!
