    Moulting again.
    Why can't the ID books/sites include these in-between stages?

    These IDs are like someone pulling wheelies over the finish line, awesome !

    Many of the small songbirds are really small at this time of year, since a hard winter has just gone by. They should start getting chunkier soon.

    The Eagle has a nest on this lake and I've watched it chase off an Osprey that was just in the area. This Osprey just dove into the water when out of nowhere the Eagle came at it. Here's a shot of that too bad it's blurry.
