At least 6 eagles took flight before I got as close as I wanted to be to photograph the group in the field. The last photo is of one of those that took flight! They must have “eagle eyes!”

The wildlife seem to like this bench in our backyard. It is a practical way to use the wheels, when they quit “going round and round!”
On my morning walk it was a pleasure to see this Bald Eagle soaring with a blue sky behind him. Without a tele lens i had to work with what I had and crop it!
Getting used to my new mirrorless camera (Sony ZV-E10). I was parked on the road trying to capture a photo of this wild turkey that was crossing the road, and then trying to get over a fence. So it goes.
On this day I enjoyed the many sightings of birds and animals. A sandhill crane out in a farmer’s field, this turkey crossing the road, and on three occasions deer standing beside the road watching me go by. I stayed with this family, who had Baltimore Orioles coming to their feeder, like I have house finches, and goldfinch coming to mine! In the evening we strolled down to a large pond and caught a mess of crappies, and bluegills, which were enjoyed the next morning at breakfast! Their little boy is around 9 months old! This all happened on my two day, 1,000 mile trip into Michigan this week.
Enjoy your day and the rest of the week!
Oriental Magpie Robin! This bird stood quite still for this portrait! Other birds were more elusive. I joined a group for the contest to see how many birds could be seen in 1 hour. I added the Orange-headed Thrush and Black-naped Oriole to my life list bringing it up to 324 species! I also recorded 13 other species, of which my favorite is the Rose-ringed Parakeet photographed below.
What color describes your personality and why? Bengalis call me “Ever Green,” because I am always cheerful.
What irritates you about the home you live in? The floor our Living Room and Dining Room is too high to be able to see our bird feeders!
