It was raining all the way home…we stopped at a few spots.



Not a vintage winter for the eagles but there’s still always the chance for a nice BIF or 2…
Bird of the day was a Rough-legged Buzzard (possibly 2 actually) but too far off for any photos. Hopefully there will be a bit of an influx of them…
The eagles will have to do for now.
Sometimes I forget to toggle crop mode on/off…
This individual flew right towards me but for some reason I was in crop mode and most of the really sharp photos cropped off most of its wings…
Very dark again: ISO 3200. Rarely go above 400 for BIFs.
Here it is in a tree a bit later when the light was better.
This (male?) White-tailed Eagle has been returning to the same spot in Yakumo for many years now…and he’s pretty tame too.
Not much else around in Yakumo on Friday: the most interesting species was harlequin Duck. We don’t normally see them here but there were at least 4 around including this first winter male upstream…
