A Busy Time of Day

The herons have found a place that suits their hunting style and their apparent desires to pose for the camera.

Teach a Bird to Fish...

There are plenty of hungry birds out here and many are quite successful fishers.

Successful Fishers

 

It is not surprising that the herons, with their long bills, are successful fishers.

Meanwhile, Back on the Canal Side

This heron is trying to land in what is clearly a good spot. He knows it is good sopt because all his friends are there.

Herons Galore

The roadway by which I stand crosses the stream that all the birds are focused on. On one side is the Hood Canal and on the other is a small pool that the herons seem to like quite alot for their fishing endeavors. the fellow above is using his wings to shade the water’s surface so he can see the fishes underwater better.

Eagles, Herons, and more

My first eagle in flight on this trip. It is not terribly sharp, but it is start.

An Eagle Posing for the Camera

ONe almost gets the feeling that this eagle is trying to stare me down. However, I am standing on the verge of the road with dozens of other photographers and traffic that keeps going by. I’m pretty sure there are other things besides me, trying to stand still and quite, for him/her to be checking out.

Getting Serious about that Last Morsel

I certainly would not want to meet this guy in a dark alley. Or a lit one either.
