As Eagles Spar

As the Eagles Fly Past they go into a high speed acrobatic sparring match screaming their intent like children on a playground.

Shall Eagles not be Eagles?

Wrens be Wrens?

If all the world were Falcons, what of that?

The wonder of the Eagles were the less, But he not less the Eagle.

Moon Eagle

So taking a shot of the moon today leaning up against a wall for stability I snapped off a couple of shots

Okay you are thinking the moon. Washed out a bit from the daylight.

Then I took another shot and thought I saw something as I snapped the picture.

Did not really see anything on the screen.

Downloaded the pictures onto the computer and this was in there.

Bit of a shocker as the wall blocked it coming in and leaving. Never saw it.

Changes Around Quamichan Valley End of Jan 2011

Sunrise over the last couple of weeks of Jan 2011 have been over seas of Fog making for spectacular soul searching mornings.

This week I have several Brewers Blackbirds to add to the list from last week.

Approximately 75 to 100 Starlings

Chickadees

Brants

There was a horrible fight with two factions of crows. Now we have a much larger Murder flying around so not sure what happened but the outcome is obvious with twice as many crows now.

Last weeks smaller murder of crows. The new larger group is really aggressive and really camera shy. Next week will post pictures of the new larger group.

The resident Bald Eagles also had a nasty territory fight on their wings. The start of it was above the neighbouring farm and ended up in the small forested area behind them. Our resident eagles won the battle as was evident from the Juvenile that reappeared checking them out.
