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

Just a touch of afternoon sun on the wings of a juvenile eagle . . .

When you're busy and you're hungry, sometimes you just have to eat on the fly . . . fresh sushi please!

Did you hear the news? . . . (got this juvenile male's attention!) The 2022 hummingbird migration is underway (swipe to see map), and it won't be long before they're back in this area (northern Illinois) from their nice vacation in South America . . .

Look at the wingspan of this beauty . . . a sight to behold. After the California Condor, golden and bald eagles have the longest wingspans in North America ranging from 6' to 7.5'. Female bald eagle wingspans average 7.2 feet; male bald eagle wingspans average around 6.4 feet.

A couple of juvenile eagles tussle in the sky above the frozen river. Nothing serious, just playin' around, or practicing to be a grown-up.

Captured this male Common Goldeneye as he was making tracks around the bend of the river to catch up with his migrating mates.

Leaving a wake of snowflakes in its path on a bitterly cold day, a Bald Eagle glides through the air with grace and purpose . . .

Goldeneye's gotta go . . Deuces!
