Another cold day out. Got my first Bald Eagle juvenile so I was thrilled.  I had to crop quit a bit, but anyway...  I also got my first Sharp-shinned hawk, and here also are a few others from the day.

Bald Eagle Juvenile, I know not great but my first and a keeper.


Sharp-Shinned Hawk


Pileated Woodpecker


Common Goldeneye


White-Breasted Nuthatch


and a couple of mallards.

love the pileated.
the hen mallard is astounding.great wing position,sharpness,and catchlight.
i couldn,t make it out,as i was having an on-line astronomy garage sale.sold a bunch of stuff,to sustain my growing addiction for "L" lenses. LOL

Great series Rui and congrats on the eagle.  I was planning to go to LaSalle for the first time on Saturday but wasn't feeling great so did a short trip to Halls Road.  The Pileated is top of my list (o.k. tied with the Snowy Owl - which I searched for Sunday to no avail).  I might have to make that trek next weekend.

I love the Goldeneye pic.
It looks like he's madder than 'h' and is coming after your camera!
