The BCNHs have returned to Turner River Road right on schedule. Counted about ten adults and at least four juvies Monday afternoon.

There will be days when you get the shot(s) you missed days, months or years before.

Nice job Betty.
Why do they always stay in such "sticky" areas.
Can't they cut us some slack?

Excellent, Betty, and the "sticky" adds to it here IMO. In the late afternoon, they tend to leave the sticks en masse and head out. If you learn the where and when, you can plan. Jeremy, you listening?

Have often thought this myself. Rarely do you get a shot of these birds in an open area. It's great when you do, though.( I think it has something to do with these birds preferring to hunt in the evening. They like to sit and doze in the woods earlier in the day.)

Thanks for your kind comments.

Thanks. I'll be heading back to this site one day this week. It's always fun to photograph these birds while they're here. Have a juve shot I hope to post tomorrow.
