On Saturday, we heard that the Ottawa National Wildlife Preserve was open, so we decided to head down there. Wasn't sure what we'd see though.
As I started down one of the roads, I saw a few cars stopped. People had their cameras out and I was wondering what they were looking at.
As I looked over in the direction of where their cameras were pointed, I saw what they were looking at.
This eagle was just hanging out in the tree.
I had to move a little bit to get a better vantage and this was the best that I could do. I didn't like that the branches were in the way but I could see his head.
I kind of like this angle.
He was sort of looking my way.
I love these birds.
He was looking off another way.
As I was heading out of the park, I saw this guy flying by.
I didn't have much time to get him though.
I decided to take another spin around the park. As I was heading through, I saw this downey woodpecker. He wasn't going to give me a good picture though and this was the best I could do.
As I got to another spot, I saw this guy flying. He was flying towards a nest.
And then he was greeted by the eagle at the top of the picture.
This eagle is almost a mature eagle. I'd say it's probably about 5. It's head is not quite fully white yet.
But he looks close enough to a mature eagle.
As I was leaving the park, I saw this one perched. I later found it was a female kestrel. I wasn't sure if it was a kestrel because I thought they had blue in their feathers. But it turns out those are the male.
