Patricia is in Wisconsin until early next week, spending time with her step mother and her family in general...Me, with a weekend visit from Daughter Anissa, and the Dog and Cats, are at our own devices...
Went to bed early Tuesday with plans on getting up early to do a photo shoot at and along Grand Lake...No Luck! I was up, well before sunrise, but the fog took out any chance of getting around to shoot landscapes, sunrises, or birds, so I set it for this morning...Clouds again, so I slept in until about 7 and figured not much Sunrise Photo Ops, but maybe I could get a bird or two with the camera...haze but no thick fog greeted me when I arrived at my old haunt on the southside at Windy Point...
Snapped a few weak sunrise shots, and then waited...finally a few large White Pelicans, along with a few Juvenile Eagles came flying in and by...The White Pelicans differ from their more common cousin, the Brown or Yellow Pelican by size, the White are at least 30% larger...after stopping by here in their new migration path a few years ago, they now, at least some, make Grand Lake their home around 9 months a year, skipping December through February, before making their way back when the ice melts off the lake.
The American Eagles now number around 100 along and near the lake...many, like those photographed here, are the younger 4 or 5 years old or less, and are sans White Heads, which appear around their 5th birthday...these guys were the young ones...
Photography in the Haze, and Clouds, sometimes requires a bit of trickery ...filters or programs to get a better effect...and those are noted here:
The bottom one here is my favorite of the morning, a South Bound Eagle...flying away from me...lol, just got the Real View ... 👀😎
