Post #100. Just another great birding day.

Yep, after five months later, I now have written one hundred posts. Not sure if that's a good thing or not, but blogging is one of the ways to keep me from going into that "gloom-and-doom" state of mind about not yet finding a job and also staying in touch with my ecology academic background.

Not sure what the usual blogger does to celebrate, so I decided to stick what I do well and that is to go out and take some pictures!

Parent and offspring Bald Eagles.

Love the round bright eyes of this Great Blue Heron

I can now recognize this juvenile Bald Eagle when I see it since it has that special stripe across its eyes. It scared off the Red-tailed Hawk (in the picture below) from this post and remained there until I started to take its pictures. An eagle perched in a residential area does not suit well with surrounding crows and passerines.

The Red-tailed Hawk then flew to another post to rest.

Another Bald Eagle.

Perched on a tree across from the airport and Fraser River.

An adult Double-crested Cormorant fishing in the Fraser River.

As I headed back home, I saw the Red-tailed Hawk again.

The hawk doing its business on someone's roof. You can even see it in mid-air in the picture. Ha.

A Bald Eagle perched on the golf course ready to take off. I think I saw five eagles in total, pretty amazing.

Hey, it's the Muskrat again! Uh-oh. When I see it during the day, it usual means bad weather is coming.
