  • The Bald Eagle suddenly turned hard to its left and crossed in front of us.  We could see the power of its flight and its expression appeared almost serious.  Mud seemed to be on its bill and its eyes looked straight forward.  Its body arched as it sharply banked in the turn.

  • The Snow Geese pair spread their wings to begin to slow themselves down as they descended to land amongst other geese.  They dropped their feet and spread their toes to give additional drag.  When they touched the ground, it was as if they had gently stepped onto the grass; as graceful as an Olympic gymnast.

  • The Tundra Swan took off away from me and then circle back around and flew right over me.  I was able enjoy the beauty and grace of its flight as it climbed up from the field and headed off.  Watching the grace and athletic ability of this bird helps one appreciate why swans are considered so wonderful.

  • The Peregrine Falcon swooped in across the field where a small flock of ducks were feeding.  The ducks took flight and the falcon flew on to a tree on the other side of the field.  The grace and agility of this magnificient bird was awsome.
