As I mentioned on my Bike Blog, Keiran and I had a pretty exciting moment this past weekend when we spotted a Bald Eagle along the river while out for a bike ride. There are lots of pictures on the bike blog with a brief description of the events.
I didn't immediately recognize it as a bold eagle because it didn't have the iconic white head they are known for! It was very mottled and pretty scruffy-looking! I'm pretty sure what we were looking at was a juvenile/immature Bald Eagle...

A number of people have reported to me that they've seen American Robins returning. I've HEARD them, but haven't actually SEEN any... I've also heard Meadowlarks this past week, but have yet to see one of those...
Nice
ReplyDeleteYeah, in Oregon (a bit farther south than Sask.), I had a robin attacking his reflection in my windows already this spring. (but last night we had some snow!)
Thanks!
DeleteHa! We had snow yesterday too!?
And more forecast for tonight!? GAH!?
DeleteThe combination of visual and writing is most pleasing.
ReplyDeleteI was delighted to see a long tailed tit on the former railway line path yesterday, l don’t think l have seen one for years.
Thanks, Alan!
DeleteI'm not familiar with the Long-tailed Tit, so I had to google it. It is a rather lovely little bird, so I can well imagine the excitement at seeing one - especially if you hadn't seen one for a while!
