This is the first time i saw this bird…pretty small size and very nimble.. i had to wait for almost 3 hours at feeding /bathing place… before this guy shows up .. the arrival was pretty quick and he was gone within 30 seconds !! i am glad i got this shot in challenging lighting conditions

Locked On by raygreenphotography

This guy was intently locked in on some spawning salmon as he hunted for breakfast along the Nooksack river near Deming, Washington. The town of Deming is located in the Northern part of Washington State near Mount Baker and the Canadian border. This area is one of the very best places to view eagles in the wild in the lower 48 states. The light on this morning was fantastic and I was fortunate that he flew by close enough to catch this shot! Thank you for viewing, voting and/or andy constructive comments!

Wingman by raygreenphotography

I liked the backlight on this pair of mallard ducks. The male”wingman” was not about to let the female get to far out of his sight! Thank you for viewing, voting and/or any constructive comments!

Intruder by raygreenphotography

Not much snow on Mt. Hood nor much weather drama this time of year but Trillium Lake is always a favorite. This mallard duck decided to steal the show just as the sun dropped behind the hills and the water got calm. She positioned herself right in the middle of my reflection shot. Oh well thought you might enjoy the view anyway! Thank you for viewing, voting and/or any constructive comments!

Great Blue Ballet by raygreenphotography

Depending on your point of view the Great Blue Heron can seem graceful/ almost ballerina like or just plain prehistoric/like a creature out of Jurassic Park? In any case they are an interesting bird to watch in their natural habitats!
