I was at Bombay Hook this past Sunday photographing the many herons and egrets that are feasting on all the fish at the refuge when I noticed a Bald Eagle flying around. He caught a fish and took it to a tree to eat and then another eagle appeared and did the same. During the next three hours or so, there was hardly a minute that went by when there wasn’t an eagle in the air! I’m not sure how many are currently at the refuge but I know there are at least nine because at one point I saw that many flying around at the same time!
As you can see, they’re all different ages…
Red-winged Blackbirds kept getting on their backs like they were going for a ride at an amusement park. It was pretty comical! Unfortunately I didn’t get any good shots but here are a couple…
Kim,
#1 is simply fantastic. It really deserves to be reproduced beyond your blog.
Thanks Mike!
I agree with Mike about #1. Also, do the RWBB flap their wings while hitching a ride? They amuse me beyond words.
No flapping! They just hang on and go for a ride! LOL
