Everyday for the last couple years, this eagle pays me a visit at least once per day. He will sit up there and watch over the property (I have chickens but have never lost any). He usually flys overhead around sunset and returns home to his nest across the river. I truly feel lucky to have such a beautiful creature as part of my daily experience.

Two siblings were fighting- I got called to investigate-caught them so they could be evaluated for feeding and injuries- they were good so returned them next day-

Lots of rain overnight and this guy was looking for a snack before bedtime. Somehow he got stuck in the water and was looking like he regretted his life choices. I fished him out with a rake, he gave me a good talking to. After a rest he flew up to a tree to dry out and then went home for the day. I think i will call him Owlfred. But if he’s a girl then Owlkwafina…

I was wondering if this was a Cooper’s Hawk? In southeastern Connecticut.

Various photos I took at public parks over the last 6 months.

I’ve promised to add a mystery bird to this series but haven’t thought of one yet! Any suggestions? 😂 I kind of have an Americas theme going here I think…

Seen this morning. Fog was awful so the picture isn’t great but looked cool with such a dark background.
