Sadly no pic, but this morning on the Willamette near downtown PDX I witnessed a juvenile bald eagle come inches away from taking out a great blue heron. All of this went down within 100' of me.

I saw the same thing today on the Middle Fork Willamette. The heron made a lot of noise. Friggin awesome, great view of the juvenile bald eagle.

it was just insane! super cool to see. I fumbled to get my camera out (actually had one with a decent zoom on me), but by the time I did, the action was over.

Went to England a few years back with my wife and daughter. A young employee there could tell we were into the birds and gave us a special tour of the Great Gray Owlets that could not yet fly. We all got to have them on our shoulders.....what a once in a lifetime experience.

And finally, one of my favorites. We stayed at a B and B outside of Phoenix and I asked the owner if she happened to have any owls nearby. She said," As a matter of fact, we have one that lives in this big Oak tree. Could not have cared less as I set up my tripod and zoom. Love the camouflage.

Btw - for those hummer feeders, you don’t need the red coloring. They are attracted to the yellow /red colors on the feeder.
One part sugar , four parts water. Clean and restock frequently in th e warmer weather. Keep those guys happy
