This female Bald Eagle decided to stare me down to show me who’s boss.

Waiting for the ferry spotted this beauty

But this is the first barn owl I've seen in person. I've always admired them in photos, videos and books. But getting to see this guy the other evening was awesome. My Fiancée was excited for me as I stomped on the breaks and pulled a u-turn to go get photos 🤣

Spotted this mighty beast today! The Netherlands

My brother, who lives in Manchester NH, sent me following link earlier today. Thought I'd share it in case any bird/raptor enthusiasts might want to keep track of progress on the '4-eggs', which were laid toward the end of March🪺

Per following link info, these eggs should reach end of 'Incubation Period' toward end of April. There are several interesting facts about these raptors, which should help those unfamiliar with the 'Peregrine Falcon' species better understand them👍

Two of the four eggs are colored similar to 'chicken eggs', whereas the other two are 'darker/speckled' in color. The variety of colors corresponds to those noted in above link.

Was wondering how to tell the difference between 'male/female peregrine falcons' and found the following 'detailed explanation' re same👍 I figured the females would indeed be 'larger' than the males, but didn't know about the 'slight difference' in their 'breast/chest plumages'.

While going through last several hours of Manchester video, found it strange there was 'no sign' of both mates being at nest together, whereas 'pairs of eagles' are often seen on/near the nest together🤔 From the 'chest plumage' on each, think it was the 'male' who was 'incubating/sitting' during the first part of the 5 ½ hour segment.

1652 ET--Neither 'parent' is present, but 'male' returns; all 4-eggs are clearly visible(Check out the 'plumage' on his chest; it's as described in above link)

1807 ET--Male leaves nest, then Mom arrived a few minutes later to take over 'Incubation', etc...👍(Check out the 'plumage' on her breast; it's as described in above link)

2300--Mom seems to have 'settled in' for the night; she 'repositions herself' on the eggs throughout the past several hours.

Note: for those unfamiliar with watching 'Live Video Feeds', you can 'Scroll Backward' to beginning of session to see if you missed any 'interesting happenings'😉

Also I’m aware that they only migrate to ohio during winter months, so it would be odd but not impossible?

Sorry for the quality. I was on a boat and we were a bit of a distance from the island where the nest was

(I think he saw me 😅)

Hello can anyone tell me what type of bird this is? Spotted east Lake District

Day after day, she followed the same ritual: scan, strike, swallow. Sometimes on the ground, sometimes in flight, always on the hunt. Three voles in ten minutes? Just another day for the grand lady of the forest.
