River Bend Park birds of Wonder

I met several friendly people from around the globe enjoying River Bend Park today.  A smile and a genuine "hello, how are you?" goes a long way.  So many interesting people to engage. It was a great people day!

Two exciting bird encounters in River Bend Park today.  A repeat sighting of an eastern screech owl in its natural habitat of a hollowed out tree.  Must be his home as I have seen the owl on two occasions in the same tree.

 



The treat of the day was the bald eagle at the nest on the Potomac River!   At least one young eaglet could also be seen in the nest from time to time during my observing period of 2 hours.  Glad the bald eagles selected this nesting site on an inaccessible island in the middle of the river.
