I haven't posted for quite some time!  But today I am excited to add a new bird to my life list.  It has been awhile since I have seen a new species.  There are all kinds of ducks active right now in the bay, as spring has sprung!  When looking through the binoculars, I saw ducks I hadn't seen before.  After researching, I discovered they were Northern Shovelers.  The males have green/black heads, and their bodies are black, white, and brown. They weren't close enough for a decent picture.

Also active in the bay have been the Bald Eagles, up until yesterday they've had the run of the place.  But the resident Osprey showed up yesterday and are chirping away while working on their nest in the park, just a few trees away from my balcony.  Unfortunately, the trees branches are in the way of my viewing the nest from the balcony.

Here is a cell phone capture of an juvenile Bald Eagle checking out the fishing on a nearby dock that I took the other day.
