Adult Bald Eagles
The number of adult Bald Eagles were dwindling at the Squaw Creek NWR when I was there last week.

While touring the refuge auto route early in the morning, it is very common to see groups of Bald Eagles just waiting for a meal to come close! This group of 5 eagles were pretty evenly distributed … 2 adults, 2 juveniles and one “tweener” that was starting to get his white head, but not […]

White-on-White
After keeping an eye on the bird counts at Squaw Creek NWR (northwest Missouri), and seeing another strong cold front about to move through the area, I decided I needed to get up to the refuge ASAP … bald eagle counts of over 225 and trumpeter swan counts of over 250 were incentives enough for […]
