An eagle can live up to 70 years, but to reach this age the eagle must make some hard and difficult decisions.
The American white pelican (Pelecanus erythrorhynchos) is a large aquatic soaring bird from the order Pelecaniformes. It breeds in interior North America, moving south and to the coasts, as far as Central America and South America, in winter. The German naturalist Johann Friedrich Gmelin described the American white pelican in 1789. The scientific name means "red-billed pelican", from the Latin term for a pelican, Pelecanus, and erythrorhynchos, derived from the Ancient Greek words erythros (ἐρυθρός, "red") + rhynchos (ῥύγχος, "bill").
A nice sign of spring, finally seeing robins and red winged black birds, still not getting warm out though.

If you look closely in the frogs eye, you can see the silhouettes of my friends Karen and Steve, as well as myself. Wildwood Park, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania
I'm a little confused with the bit of green around the eye. Is this a female or a young male? Taken in Calgary, Alberta. Canon R5
Thank you for your visit and comments. They are very much appreciated.
American beech is a distinctive and elegant forest tree in Kentucky and throughout eastern North America. In early spring new leaves emerge from buds as feathery tassels. Handsome foliage develops a golden bronze color in the fall. American beech's graceful, spreading form is superior to other beeches and is attractive throughout the year. Winter, however, emphasizes this tree's other notable attributes - its long, thin, pointed, brown leaf buds and its smooth, thin, light gray, "wrinkled" bark that resembles an elephant's hide. American beech bark is nearly white and is much paler than European beech. Like oak, beech often holds on to its bottom leaves throughout winter.
I did in fact get shots of other birds while waiting for action from the owls over the weekend. This sparrow was particularly cooperative. It didn't seem overly windy, but apparently there was enough of a breeze to give him a crest. Lincoln County, Missouri
This Oystercatcher appeared to be searching for his favorite mollusks, while ignoring the crab in the lower left hand corner.
Papilio polyxenes, the black swallowtail, American swallowtail or parsnip swallowtail, is a butterfly found throughout much of North America. My garden in Fairfield Harbour, NC
Sports fans in some cities get an extra show during night games: kestrels perching on light standards or foul poles, tracking moths and other insects in the powerful stadium light beams and catching these snacks on the wing. Some of their hunting flights have even made it onto TV sports coverage.
I walked by Beaverton Creek today, and found this tree being hit by both the cedar waxwings and the American robins. Had several opportunities in the colorful surroundings.
Although this photo was taken in August, very few of these American Goldfinches remain. The ones I've seen have rather dull plumage as they are set to migrate soon.
This bird, with the white forcrown has been around for several months and may be the same bird that I saw last year. American Goldfinches don't typically have the white patch on their heads. Photographed in my backyard, Yakima County, Washington. IMG_7348
Call them flyover states, the sticks, rural, back of beyond, whatever you wish, but places like this are the heartbeat of America. In Wisconsin.
There we go again filling the feeders an watching the show from our kitchen window only few feet away,
must set up my tripod for a video them coming and going.
