This is MY fish . . . Mine . . . All . . . Mine . . .

Our largest native waterfowl in North America, a Trumpeter Swan, navigates a graceful lake landing. With wingspans of up to nearly 8 feet, such beautiful birds to watch in flight.

An American Bald Eagle banks south and soars over the Father of Waters . . .

Buffleheads are the smallest diving ducks in North America, but they are one of the fastest waterfowl achieving flight speeds of up to almost 50 mph, which makes them challenging to capture, and in turn, makes them even more fun . . .

Just in case you needed smiles from a puppy today . . .

This Common Goldeneye drake and two hens are quite happy with all of their recent practice and confident they are ready for the upcoming waterfowl air show . . .

Target acquired . . . precision dive sequence enabled . . .

The first rule for success in river fishing is: Secure your talons on the fish. The 2nd rule is to LOOK UP! Always be aware of the other eagles looking to steal your prized catch, both adults and those pesky juveniles . . .

What a sight to behold . . those majestic Bald Eagle wings . . .

Goldeneyes are quite speedy, and it's fun watching them land . . . they slow their decent with all flaps down.
