Eagles in Waltham

There are at least Two adults and one sub-adult Bald Eagles that were on the charles River today and I guess for the past couple of days.

They were feeding on a dead bird either a goose or a commorant out on the ice off of woerd ave opposite purgatory cove and Mt Feake cemetary

I am going to try early in the morning to see if I can get some photos of them

Lets get this blog going this time

I know I have been away but I hope to get this thing going for good this time.
My passion for nature photography has led me to start a Meetup group just for this cause

I hope those of you that like Nature and live near the New England area will join in on the fun

We have had a number of meetings already and a group shoot

Many more to come and much learning and sharing at our meetings

Have a great Holiday season and a happy New Year to all

Amazing Winter so far

If you like rare birds this has been one of the best winters in recent memory as there have been two ivory gulls this year Northern Hawk owls in New Hampshire , Maine and Vermont

Lots of Snowy Owl reports lots of Crossbills along with all of the usual birds

Spring is on the way but I sure will Miss all of our winter visitors this year

Winter Crossbills

Happy New Year To All.

I finally got out this week and went to Salisbury Campground for the White wing Cross bills

There has also been good looks at Short Eared Owls lately and a Snowy Owl sometimes

It came be cold but some good winter birds are found there

Makes a nice day ride or trip and the Merrimack river can be good if Salisbury is not doing much

Go on out and enjoy them while you can

Early and lots of snow

Lots of Snowy Owls that is

From reports there seams to be an abundance of our visotors from the north already this year and Winter is not upon us yet.

This could be an indicator of other owls from the north IE great greys and Northern hawk owls

It may turn out to be a bumper year so keep those eyes open and go out for some winter walks

Images from Yellowstone

I Know I Know not New England

If you ever have a chance to venture to Yellowstone in the late fall I highly recommend it

just back from Yellowstone

Hi All,

Sorry I have not posted as I was away in Yellowstone national Park and I hope to get back on track soon.

We had rather warm temps out west for the time of year so I did not get any ice or snow scenes but the elk , Bison and Bighorn Sheep were putting on some decent shows as the rut winds down there.

We were also blessed with a lot of Trumpeter Swans and had some other wildlife.

Yellowstone is a great place to visit in the late fall as it becomes almost your own place as the tourist are almost gone and the quiet and solitude take over

Will post some pics soon and other goodies from the trip
