Well, I feel myself slipping there. I’m becoming a birder. I think it has something to do with my camera, of course. Although I prefer to take photos of people, there is something very satisfying about getting a shot like this…
Ben and I went down to Juanita Bay park on Sunday morning and I was just giddy at all that was going on. This Red Wing Blackbird defending its nest against the Heron. I love listening to the RW Blackbirds. They have the coolest call. One landed right by me and posed for a shot.
The turtles were also out all over enjoying the sun like true Seattlites.
And then there were THREE Bald Eagles out on the water. One started heading towards us and I snapped this. Its a bit out of focus probably because I was so excited it was coming toward me! If you think I’m uncool for being a bird nerd, you cannot tell me that it isn’t cool to see three Bald Eagles soaring over the lake!
GREAT shots! I love them all! Ok, you do realize that I have a serious aversion to birds — except for predator birds (like eagles and owls). I hope we can still be bosom friends…
Sugar,
I am a bird nerd too! Ever wonder why we are SOOOO sympatico? The birds in Minnesota are amazing! The other night we watched 3 Pilleated Woodpeckers in our woods while we were eating dinner. It was like “Wild Kingdom” right out our dining room window. And I have TONS of other bird stories to share. I love you, and I love your bird photos! Aunt E the F
