Chores day & eagle momma with baby.

Today was a day that I accomplished a lot of chores to do.
Included in that was installing new spark plugs, laundry and food shopping at 3 different places.
I also did a lot of walking in woods taking pictures of various birds, including a yellow shafted flicker;



a catbird;


and a bird I am unfamiliar with.
It had a light yellow chest and gray wings. It was bigger than a goldfinch or a yellow flicker and the chest was not as bright yellow. It was about the size of a cardinal. I never saw it before. It had a mate, as did the other 2 birds. In fact the catbirds were not shy at all about making whoopie today, all 2 seconds of it.

The photographic catch of the day, however, was when I stopped by the bald eagle's nest.
When I got there, the female was feeding the eaglet, who was deep down in the nest.
Momma was beak down in the nest and buns up, not an ideal pose.
However, later, the mother hopped onto a branch and I got 3/4 full frame shots of her cleaning her
beak against the branch, and then upright looking at me and looking to the left and looking to the right.
After that I got full frame shots of her in the upper right hand corner of the photo and the baby in the lower left corner in the nest. I'll be adding those shots to the many, that I sell. I'm sure customers will love them.

On the way home to celebrate I bought a box of all natural frozen fruit bar popsicles.
The top half is dipped in dark chocolate.
Somehow :winking: on the drive home, one of those popsicles worked it's way out of the box and the bag and made it to my hand while I was driving. Obviously, it was anxious to be eated. So, I had to oblige. The rest went into the freezer when I got home for other days.

So, I hope you had a good day too.
