Oregon Junko Bird Found A Seed

I was watching this Oregon Junko and noticed a seed nearby, glad he did too!

He picked it up, tried to swallow it and out the seed came!

Must either not have been a seed? Or to big for this junko to swallow?

Anyhoo I like to watch the birds do what they do if I was watching them or not.

Elk Herd In The Early Morning ~ Central Oregon

Elk Herd In The Early Morning ~ Central Oregon

First thing we seen last Saturday is this herd of Elk.

They were pretty close to our little town! They were laying down in this farmers field. But when they noticed someone giving them attention they started getting up and getting nervous.

The morning was very nasty weather wise. Snow was falling, it was foggy and I really did not want to see the elk running in this weather.

These all look like bulls. These elk we have here are very..... shy? Paranoid? In the field they had nothing to hide behind.

Let It Snow

mrsroadrunner A Wildlife, Nature Photographer, Oregon

This cold snap came in and here are some of the photographs of the ice covered vegetation and on top of the ice is the snow.

You can see which way the wind blew at the freezing point.

Ya, it was cold Sunday when we were out and about!

The wildlife still needs to eat, they still need to hunt, and they still need to be outside doing their thing.

No matter what the weather is like.

Winter Time Robbin Birds on The Juniper Trees

mrsroadrunner A Wildlife, Nature Photographer, Oregon

We have snow, no big surprise seeing what time of the year it is.

Stopping off at the horse camp the Robbins came over for their photographs to be taken.

They made their presents known by coming right to the tree that was nearest me.

There is two sets of photographs.

This first set, this robbin was very funny!! Appeared to want me to see him/her feed on the juniper berries.

This second set is of two birds who it appears had a nest in the tree. Though I am not sure about that one?? The one went deep inside the tree, than came back out and did this several times.

Mountain Chickadee Found Here In Oregon

I found this Mountain Chickadee watching the horses and I from one of the trees.

Several chickadee species are out, this one has the stripes.

They eat bugs and seeds and I find they are often with other birds.

Cute little guys!!

If you would like to hear what this bird sounds like there is a great voice capture at the " allaboutbirds.org " site.

The Motion Of A Cat Running

I observe things. I caught one of the barn cats running off from me and the horses yesterday.

The domestic cat , like other cat species, is very graceful. Very agile.

I feel only in still photography can one really see just how graceful and agile they truly are!!

Bald Eagle Fishing, Oregon

mrsroadrunner A Wildlife, Nature Photographer, Oregon More photographs at link.

We watched the Bald Eagles fishing for a while.

I understand I need a better tele lens than what I have now for such things as this. It will come.

I started out from the truck on the road. Looking down into the canyon I was not sure if I wanted to climb down but found myself doing it!!

Guy parked the truck basically just on the dirt road. Over to the side the best he could just so if people were around they could get by it. No where to park!

Soon Guy and the dogs were coming too, the dogs found me first of course!

We all made our way down into the canyon to the water.

Not only were the Bald Eagles fishing, other birds were as well.

Their were two adult Bald Eagles and a younger Bald Eagle. The younger one kept trying to take the older ones fish! Big fights ensued. If I did have have this stupid tree in my way!! So we moved locations so the tree would no longer be in my way, though we were in full sight of the eagles as well. So the young Bald Eagle took off out of sight.

It did appear that the Bald Eagles were curious as to what we were, and why we were there! They checked us out several times. Than the ducks, and other wildlife left. All three Bald Eagles took off to the other side of the canyon and that was that. To my understanding that side of the canyon belongs to the Warm Spring Indian Reservation, though I could be wrong. The older adults perched in the same tree, while the younger one went into a tree where he could hide from our view. We seen some of his white, but he was not to secure as the older ones were about us seeing him! It was pretty obvious that this younger Bald Eagle was not comfortable around people, or what the eagle did not understand.

Here are several photographs of one of the older Bald Eagles fishing.

The Flight Of The Double-Crested Cormorant

mrsroadrunner A Wildlife, Nature Photographer, Oregon

These double crested cormorant are rather common here in our canyon.

Here we have one taking off on this very cold, cloudy Saturday.

I wanted to show the trail this bird left as it takes off. I was on one of the bridges as this bird was taking off in flight.

The photo at the end is a cormorant I caught flying low where the bald eagles were fishing.
