Here are a few of the better pictures of birds from Saturday’s trip up the Canyon of the Eagles.
This is a bald eagle. They roost there this time of year. We mostly saw juveniles, which look more like hawks because they don’t have the white heads yet. This is the best shot I could get of an adult. A 300mm lens doesn’t do it justice, but that’s all I’ve got. It looked stunning through the binoculars.
Next up we have some pelicans chilling with a flock of ducks…
A couple of blue herons standing in a tree on top of a cliff…
And finally some seagulls who didn’t mind getting closer to me and my camera…
