A brown bird with a pale eyebrow, white spots from feather tips dotting its back, and pale underparts speckled in brown stands in profile facing left gripping a branching tree limb in its bright yellow talons. The morning sunlight shines on its intently staring face highlighting its short sharply hooked beak and glinting off its deep yellow eye.

The same bird is now on another branch among a tangle of smaller branches with its back to the camera, feathers puffed slightly showing off those white tips down its back against a pale blue sky. Its head is turned to the left slightly back over its shoulder and it is in better light showing off its pretty face.

This young hawk has been visiting occasionally this winter which I have been happy to see even if the other birds have not.

Adult Bald Eagle perched on a large tree branch along the Lewis River in Washington State. The Eagle is looking to the frame right, and its along are barely visible where it grips the branch. The white feathers of its tail are visible below the branch. The background sky is blown out, as it was overcast and the sun was behind the bird.

A pair frequent this tree in the woods at Ridgefield NWR quite often. They sit looking over the water and think of having duck for dinner.

On this #TalonTuesday we have a nesting pair of Bald Eagles taking a break from making babies on a beautiful winter day. Their nest is in the same tree, just below them.

Marlon the Merlin (of the "Taiga" variety ...go down THAT rabbit-hole, I dare you), on the Pole of Fortune 2.0, in bright-ass morning sunlight...so you can see his "slaty" gray back, heavily streaked chest and underwings, pale mustache stripe and a thin white eyebrow in profile as he surveys the views.

A raptor with a dark back & wing, white breast feathers and a dark band extending from the eye to the back, is perched the arm of a light standard. It is a very gloomy overcast day, so it is hard to make out the lighter spots on the wing, which mark it as a juvenile Osprey.

#Birds #Raptor #TalonTuesday A juvenile Osprey perched on top of a light standard at a local baseball field. It wasn't far from the nest, a huge mound of sticks on another standard. A pair of Osprey have been successfully raising young there, the last 5 years that I have been observing them.

The head and upper body of an osprey are in the photo. The wings and pattern on the head are dark brown. The rest of the bird is white. It has a bright yellow eye. The long curved claws on one leg are visible and the bird is clearly tearing into something to eat.
