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.
Thank you for viewing, commenting on and faving my photo!

Winter is the time to go looking for American Tree Sparrows. Small flocks converge on snow-swept fields and bird feeders, where they feast on seeds on the ground. Here their bicolored bill and central breast spot help them stand out from other sparrows. Despite their name, you'll probably find them foraging on the ground rather than feeding in trees.
I think this is the female, she is not as dark as the male. Not 100% sure. They have youngs now and they are teaching them how to feed themselves.
This robin was about to enjoy a puddle in our driveway, but hadn't disrupted the perfect reflection yet.
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.
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
This Oystercatcher appeared to be searching for his favorite mollusks, while ignoring the crab in the lower left hand corner.
A North American Porcupine (Erethizon dorsatum) is observed in an open field, not often on the ground, feeding on dried vegetation in the apsen parkland region north of Thorhild, Alberta, Canada.

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.
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.
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.
A lively warbler that hops among tree branches in search of insects, the male American Redstart is coal-black with vivid orange patches on the sides, wings, and tail. True to its Halloween-themed color scheme, the redstart seems to startle its prey out of the foliage by flashing its strikingly patterned tail and wing feathers. Females and immature males have more subdued yellow “flash patterns” on a gray background. These sweet-singing warblers nest in open woodlands across much of North America.
Backyard Tips
In late summer, redstarts visit plants with small berries and fruits, such as serviceberry and magnolia. Planting these in your yard may help attract them.
