My nephew spotted this guy and he was soaring way above us. Excited I tried for a shot and forgot to extend the lens to it's fullest. Dang! So not the clearest shot but I have to post as it was such a magnificent bird and I am hoping you get some idea of that. I may not get to comment much until tomorrow - went in early to do statements and feeling sleepy tonight.
Lovely photo, Joan!! I've gained a lot of respect for these guys and have a few photos in my project. The research shows that they rarely kill for their food, but search out looking for decaying carcasses which includes small mammals. Best part is they keep our environment clean!! They are spooky looking, but they are awesome in flight with a huge wing span. Well done, Joan!
Great capture Joan. Just this morning, I saw the first of the Canada geese returning. What a welcome sight! Dave saw a robin red breast last week (in deep snow -poor bird; he must be wondering where the worms are) and I still have not heard my mourning doves out there. Ah, to open wide the windows!
