Ornithology (Bird) Thread
Re: Ornithology (Bird) Thread
There are occasional bald eagle sightings around here I haven’t seen any here. Did see them when my daughter lived in Minneapolis on East River Road. Her apartment balcony faced the Mississippi River, saw Eagles, ducks, geese and deer just a couple of blocks off the Interstate!

Congrats Scott, on your sighting. Ospreys and Eagles are always special and exciting.

Re: Ornithology (Bird) Thread
News report of 1 dead eagle and 4 sick, i.e. not flying, acting strangely. They are being treated and analyzed now. Somewhere near the Penn. border, but don't know which border.
Re: Ornithology (Bird) Thread
I saw that too, suspect lead poisoning. The Eagles had been eating on a dead deer.Quick Steel wrote: ↑Sat Nov 13, 2021 3:39 pm News report of 1 dead eagle and 4 sick, i.e. not flying, acting strangely.

Re: Ornithology (Bird) Thread
So, I was on a backroad admiring the scenery. I decided I would take a pic of some cattle grazing, an old barn in the background, maybe put it in the miscellaneous pictures thread if worthy. The area was suddenly inundated with blackbirds.......ornithology thread!

Re: Ornithology (Bird) Thread
Fine shot Ike. Now, can you identify the species? I can eliminate starlings and I don't see any Red-Wings. What might they be at this time of year in your part of the country?
Re: Ornithology (Bird) Thread
Actually, Garry, I think that they were predominantly Red Winged. They don't show in the pics because of the distance and being a little blurry because of their movement. Here is another pic I took, and you can see the epaulet on the one in the foreground.
Thank you for your comment.

Re: Ornithology (Bird) Thread
I see it. Often when a large flock of Red-Wings takes off they flash their epaulets in unison; a beautiful sight.

Surprised to see a Mockingbird at the feeder yesterday. They are listed as scarce at this time of year in Kentucky.
