Here's a few more from my short birding excursion today.

I just missed these two fishing in Lake Washington by 5 minutes :(

Nice catch with the eagles Matt. I probably would have missed them in all the leaves. And I've never seen a duck like that.

Very nice shots, I have found that Cinnamon Teals are a bit skittish, hard to get close to. Well done.

Thanks for the shot of the Cinnamon Teal. We are supposed to see them hereabouts, but I never have.

I saw them over a small hill as they were flying around (and assuming trying to catch some lunch) just above the water. By the time I was at a place able to photograph them there they flew off to the tree. So I knew they were in there, just had to find them :)

Thanks :) I wish I could have been closer or caught them fishing, but I'll take what I can get. Not too often I see two bald eagles in Seattle.

I barely caught this one as I was walking to get a shot of the eagles. I almost didn't bother with yet another duck photo, but then I realized it was one I'd never seen before. I wish I could have gotten closer and had more time, but he was definately skittish.

This was the first one I have seen.


Thanks for the comments all, much appreciated :)
