Wishing You Were Here For The Spring Season and Harassment

Yes, I know, winter hasn’t even hit yet and this bird will be heading south soon. Still, when I saw this gadwall I was wishing I was seeing the first migrant of spring. The reality is I will be seeing gadwalls coming back in just a few months. As fast as time is flying by, it won’t be long now!

I also watched as two bald eagles tag-teamed on Canada geese trying to find one making a mistake that could be lethal. Time and again both eagles “dive-bombed” the geese that were just sitting on the Cedar River and feeding occasionally. When none of the geese made a mistake, both eagles then went to perch high in a tree overlooking the river. Their combined effort was quite impressive to watch!
