Last of the photos from last week. I did good this morning, lot of images to go through. Wood Ducks, Osprey, Juvenile Eagle #birds #wildlife

A bird in the bush from this week: #Oriole #cardinal #Cardinal #Grossbeak

Male & female Rose Breasted Grossbeak from the Rock River yesterday. #birds #grossbeak

Wildlife hiding in the bushes. At least one survived the heartless trappers.

Look what I saw this morning:

Male Baltimore Oriole singing out for a female. There are quite a few Orioles around right now.

I went out yesterday even though it was cloudy and it was barely worth it, but I needed to get out. It's been so cloudy and windy this spring. #eagle

Eagle from this cloudy quiet morning:

Sandhill Crane with friend: #birds

Bluebird in flight #birds

Palm Warbler I believe, along the Rock River last week: #birds

A few more from this week. Sandpiper, Turkey Vultures and swallows. #birds

When I went by the Eagle's nest later on, she was feeding chicks I believe.

Eagle sleeping at sunrise this week:

Green Heron moving through yesterday #birds

All is well on this nest. Rock River this morning: #birds

Male Kingfisher flew right by me just a couple feet away, but this time I caught up with him. He flew inches over my boat:

Egret from yesterday: #birds

Eagle from this morning. #raptors

If you have comcast work on you stuff, be sure to leave a good survey because it costs them in wages and promotions for bad ones. Everyone hates comcast,. but don't take it out on workers. #comcast #xfinity #surveys

Not really surprised. www.forbes.com/sites/daveyw...

Redtail Hawk nest:

Great Horned Owl with a friend: #raptor #owl

The Goldfinch did return. I think they are nesting somewhere nearby, probably along the creek or river. It's been a tough spring, it's been cloudy and windy about everyday so I haven't been able to get out much. That should change soon.
