It’s About That Time!

With temperatures getting colder next week and winter knocking on our door, it’s about time for Bald Eagles and Short-eared Owls to again take residence in Missouri for the winter. In fact, I saw an adult eagle soaring over a field near my home just a week or so ago. And yesterday, a good friend sent me a photo of a short-eared owl that she found a couple of days ago. So I’ll likely be out in the fields after this next cold front moves in, to see what I can find. In the meantime, I’m featuring a few of my favorite many images of these two birds that I’ve captured over the past couple of years:

Bald Eagle fishing in the Mississippi River

Adult Bald Eagle flying over the Mississippi River

Immature Bald Eagle soaring over the river

Bald Eagles in tree overlooking the Mississippi River

And, with a little luck, maybe we’ll have another irruption of Snowy Owls back into the area!
