So that's the famous Bald Eagle. I have plenty of respect for the big raptors & have to admit, they frighten me a little close up.
Bravo adel!!!
Thanks so much for all the great pics; you live in such a wonderful area!!
Thank you for the journey and accompanying photos. It looks like you had a great trip. I'm envious ......
If these old bones hold together until spring I'll be taking another trip to the Basin, that way I will have seen the different species for all four seasons. I'm hoping in the spring the smaller birds will be there. Thanks for the kind words.
Pine Sisken? and Lesser Goldfinch
Beautiful! So many great birds!
