Good walking weather returned this afternoon so I was out checking things out. I saw my first juvenile Bald Eagle for 2023. S/He was hanging around the Anticline Fishing Pond and allowed me to get one perching shot before taking flight to become today’s featured image. The only other bird of prey that I captured is the Northern Shrike pictured below.
