Love Birds

I have no idea what kind of birds these little guys are, but they could not get enough of each other.

Here’s to a lovey-dovey, snuggley kind of day.

Sunbreak

Moments before this photo was taken, the sky was black and I couldn’t see the water.  When the sun broke through I was shocked to see all the sailboats.  If you look closely in the upper left hand corner you might be able to see a faint rainbow as well.

Bird Bath: the Eagle Edition

Bird Bath: the Eagle Edition

I grew up in Alaska with lots of bald eagles around, but I always pause to appreciate them when I see them. I’ve had the pleasure of watching them in all sorts of different behaviors, but this is the first time I ever watched an eagle take a bath.

Granted, this took place in a zoo, and animal behaviors can be different in captivity. I still thought it was pretty cool to watch.

He would splash his wings around in the water and even repeatedly dunk his head under water to splash it up over his body. At first I thought maybe he was just trying to cool down, then I remembered that I was wearing a winter coat.
