Normally a Blue Heron or Kingfisher perch above the #FernhillWetlands, we were thrilled to watch this Coopers Hawk for 4 miniutes surveying the area for bird food.

Appropriately found in the old settling pond at #FernhillWetlands called "Eagle's Perch", this beautiful female #BaldEagle poised glamorous for 30 miniutes before flying off... she may be building a nest nearby!

From across that water 30 feet (10m), we heard the unmistakable laughter of a Virgina Rail.... well, actually, many Rails calling to each other. Only with the 3000mm #nikon #P1000 could we catch an eye.
