So on Thursday I had to go up to Bay City for my uncle's funeral. He is an uncle that I haven't seen in a long time. By long time, I mean close to 30 years. He had a pretty complicated life and I wasn't sure if I actually wanted to go to the funeral but sometimes you have to do things that you don't want to do.
In order to get to Bay City, I got off I-75 at River Road/M-13 to take the drive along the river up. It is usually a nice drive and occasionally, I will see some interesting wildlife.
So as I was heading into Bay City, I looked up in a tree and I saw this guy. I had to stop because it was an eagle.
A juvenile eagle to be precise. Based on his coloring, I would say he is around 3 or 4 years old. You can see some white feathers in his head. They start getting the white head around 5 years. It was pretty neat to see.
These pictures are on the way out of Bay City coming back. I saw these swans, so I had to stop.
I think they are trumpeter swans although they could be tundra swans. I think the head coloration is a hallmark of tundra swans, but I'm not 100% sure.
It's kind of like he is saying, "Hey does somebody come into your house to take pictures."
One more shot before moving on.
