Awwww!

 Baby Black-billed Magpies from a while ago. Right out of the nest.

Brand New

Just finished this drypoint etching "Moose Splash." An experiment and printed four on a buff-colored paper that turns out, didn't like paint and buckled up with the wet gouache. So printed on the heavier standby Rives BFK 280g. Then painted the splash with acrylic, added pencils and pastels and voila! 16 by 12 inches, first mammal since New Years Eve 2024 (the fox.)

Lucky Day

One of the fledgling Great Blue Herons landed just across the river yesterday and caught 5 or 6 little fish, I lost track. And hundreds of photos pared down to 60, further editing today. But first a run to Stevensville to pick up frozen chickens for the eagles. Hey, it's Sunday!

Magpie/Peregrine

 Found these shots, minutes apart of a Black-billed Magpie and Sibley the Peregrine in 2016

What? Another Heron Photo!

Love this bird!

Bald Eagle On the Beach

Just now and she seems to like standing on one little log in the middle of the river. Flew 30 feet over my head, tame as cat, to quote my dear friend Nick Dunlop.

And Great Blue Heron nearby.

Eastern Kingbird

This little songbird loves to chase raptors, here in my yard in the same place, a Northern Harrier and Bald Eagle. See him in between the eagles wings in that last shot? HA!

Today, Dad and Fledgling

 Our Bald Eagles.

Awwwww!

 Cute little pigeons, just out of their eggs hours old. Just kidding about the cute.

And the fledgling Great Blue Heron was waving at us yesterday. Kidding again and just scratching her head.
