Evening Owls

The weather cleared up and the roads got better so I headed out to see the owls, they may be leaving soon and I will miss them.

 Look at the talons, mouse catchers deluxe.






Susie's Snow Day

The birds had a snow day as well as most of Muskegon.
Here are some of the birds that braved the weather to visit my yard and feeders.

Winter Weather

The weather man says it is going to be bad weather for a few days so I tried out the new lens again today....still many more bad than good shots. Practice makes perfect so I will keep trying.

Also about my "Owls and Eagles" post: I got a note from Mike VanderStelt and Don Neumann to let me know that the "golden's" are in actuality immature Bald Eagles. The one's in the trees look younger than the one on the ice, as you can see the head and tail feathers are changing on the "ice" Bird -- I'd say that one is about 2 1/2 yrs. old or so, where as the others are probably first years. Thanks to both Mike and Don for the info, I will know a little more what to look for next time. Susie
