This was our first sight when we got to the lagoon--a gorgeous bald eagle
A northern shoveler, next to a couple of mallards
Another shot of the shoveler
The bald eagle stayed put for most of our walk
A group of shovelers, "shoveling"
Our only great blue heron sighting of the day
A group of ring-billed gulls
A pair of bald eagles, likely the mates whose nest is off the lagoon
We also got an amazing up-close view of a Cooper's hawk
Our first confirmed sighting of a gadwall
A pair of hooded mergansers
Until next time!
The Cooper’s Hawk shots were amazing!!! Looks like you really close. Gotta LOVE Mr and Mrs Eagle! Also the Shovelers are so interesting and now I know their name is not just based on the shape of their bills but how they use them as well. THANKS for sharing. <3
