Some more pics from Monday at Yakumo, this time White Tailed Eagles.........these are all adults.
We got lucky as 10 or so eagles were swooping around very close. We couldn't go far upstream as the road was so icy.............
And these are all immature birds.........
Back at Onuma the Black Woodpeckers weren't around but of course the Nuthatches were........
Linked to Wild Bird Wednesday.
Captured form all angles, lovely shots. And of course you can easily notice the difference in season from your background on these compared to your header shot....
