Attachment 1838

This is a picture of a juvenile bald eagle. As they get older they begin to develop the distinctive white head and tail.
Fierce look but they are so gentle with their young it's amazing to watch.

And don't forget, they maybe tiny; but you can also watch hummingbirds down there. You can get a hummingbird feeder and make your own food for them. It's really easy to make:
2 cups of water to 1 cup of sugar. Make sure the water is hot off the tap and the sugar will melt. Put that into the feeder and hang outside. Don't buy the red stuff in the packages you see where you buy bird food. Making your own hummingbird food is easier. Also look up what flowers the birds like and plant them in your yard. You'll be seeing them in no time. We get them here in Illinois from last April until about late October.

Loggerhead Shrike
 

We identified a new-to-me Loggerhead Shrike today, sitting on our fence. I've seen it for a few days, and I thought it was a juvenile mockingbird, or a mockingbird with a robber's mask... It looked somewhat like a mockingbird, but not really. I think it's exciting to see a bird I've never seen before, but then I'm easily amused. :a040:

In the spring and summer we hear lots of mockingbirds. Love to listen to them.

Jojo, we had a mockingbird sing ALL NIGHT LONG during the full moon last week. I love to hear them, too, but not from 1am to dawn. On the other hand, she sounded SO happy! :laugh:
