Lots of Bird action today! Starting off with one I've not photographed much - Roseate Spoonbills. I often see them darting by with the camera pointed in the opposite direction. Camera: Sony Alpha 1 Dec 29,2022

I went a drive to the Skagit Valley to see if the snow geese have arrived--there were few with large migration patterns in the sky--.
Here is a shot taken along the Skagit City Rd. --enjoy..

Terrific flight capture of this drake mallard, Mark! You definitely nailed this shot!

For me this was the what made my day! I photographed this immature Bald Eagle's very first flight in February 2020. It wasn't pretty and he actually crashed into a tree on landing. But look at this Eagle soar now. Camera: Sony Alpha 1 Dec 29, 2022

Nice capture, Manny! One of the upper geese with a sorta curved neck seems to possibly have an aluminum band on it's left leg. When processing this image, could you tell if it was banded?

Wow, sharp eyes there, Mike. I didn't see the band at all, just their haphazard landing sequence reminded me of the 1976 "Thin Lizzie" song. I've seen a few Canada geese with wing tags though. Thanks for the compliment!

No Manny, The eyes are not so sharp anymore, but I'm always looking for banded waterfowl. Every photo I see posted, I just have to check for bands. :lol:

Thanks Mike.

I was tasked with taking some family pics at our local water park today so I only took my 85mm lens. On the other hand I'm not one to pass up an opportunity especially if she flies right by me!
